The only cow in Badal, a small village in Punjab, stopped giving milk.
The village folk then found they could buy a cow in Sialkot quite cheaply.
So, they brought a new cow over from Sialkot.
She was absolutely wonderful, she produced lots of milk every day and everyone was happy.
They then bought a bull from Samralla (Punjab) to mate with the cow to get more cows, so they'd never have to worry about their milk supply again.
They put the Samralla bull in the pasture with the Sialkot cow but whenever the bull tried to mount the cow, the cow would move away.
No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull, and he was never able to do the deed.
The people were very upset and decided to go to the senior Vet from Patiala (Punjab), who was very wise, tell him what was happening and seek his advice.
"Whenever the bull tries to mount our cow, she moves away.
If he approaches from the back, she moves forward.
When he approaches her from the front, she backs off.
If he attempts it from the one side, she walks away to the other side."
The Vet rubbed his chin thoughtfully and pondered this before asking,
"Did you by any chance, buy this cow in Sialkot?"
The people were dumbfounded, since no one had ever mentioned that they had brought the cow over from Sialkot.
"You are truly a wise Vet," they said.
"How did you know we got the cow from Sialkot?"
The Patiala Vet replied with a distant look in his eye:
"My wife is also from Sialkot...
