Once, not so long ago, there where two shepherds in a field. The first shepherd asks the other, "Speaking hypothically, if you could have anything in the world, what would it be?" The second shepherd thought it over and replied, "Well, if I could have anything in the world, it would be to eat a good meal tonight, and fall asleep happy and content for the blessings I've received in life."
The first shepherd looked at his friend and said, "Are you crazy? If I could have anything in the world, I would want to be the richest man alive, surrounded by beautiful women, and to never have to lift a finger again." The second shepherd looked at his friend, shrugged his shoulders, and went on about his work.
That night, they slaughtered a sheep and ate a wonderful meal. As they were laying down to sleep, the second shepherd looked at the first and said,"I got my wish."
