The Donkey Auction
Mulla took his donkey to the market and sold it to a dealer for 30 dollars. The dealer immediately turned around, put the donkey on the auction block, and started hyping it up to the crowd.
"Look at this magnificent beast! Have you ever seen a stronger, cleaner animal? A true champion!"
People started bidding. "Forty!" "Fifty!" "Fifty-five!"
Mulla watched in awe as the crowd fought over the donkey. Wow, he thought to himself, I was an idiot to think he was just a regular donkey. This is a one-in-a-million super-beast!
As the auctioneer yelled, "Seventy-five going once, seventy-five going twice..."
Mulla threw his hand up and yelled, "Eighty!"
