The Cow in the Jug
A thirsty cow stuck its head into a massive clay water jug to get a drink, but its head got stuck. The villagers panicked, pulling and tugging, but the cow was trapped. They ran to Mulla for advice.
"Bring me a butcher's knife," Mulla commanded. He promptly chopped the cow's head off to save it from suffocating.
But the severed head was still stuck inside the jug. "Now what do we do, Mulla?" the villagers cried.
Mulla sighed, "Well, there's no other choice. Smash the jug."
