I do some occasional computer work for an older lady outside of town. On her desk she has a framed picture of two mules, almost kind of a portrait. Finally one day I asked her about it. It turned out that the two mules in the picture were hers back in the 1950s.
“People think mules are stubborn, but they are actually just smart. If a horse gets its hoof caught in some barbed wire, it will keep trying to get free until it ruins its leg. A mule will wait there patiently until you come get it free.”
“One day I was trying to go into town. It was winter, and I got the car stuck. My husband got the truck to pull me out, and it got stuck as well. Then he got the tractor, and now all three were stuck. Finally he got the mules, and they pulled all of the them out.”
