Where Putchocolate Fondue

L'asino e il maiale


Someone liked the story of the mule and the peasant, and then, as they say, Never change a winning mule. Yes, something like that. In short, we try again. This
I told some time ago to a person with whom I worked, and before you go. Usually around four. He came to greet me chuckle that I'd stop in the office until late, and he, instead, that he had a role quite different from mine, he went quietly home to magnificence on the couch ...

Well, one day told him the story of the donkey and pig.

- What an ugly face! - Said the pig donkey who had just returned to the barn after another hard day. - What did you do today?
- Oggi abbiamo trasportato la legna che servirà per questo inverno – rispose il somaro.
- Cavolo! Interessante! - Ridacchiò il maiale rotolandosi distrattamente nel fango della stalla affianco. - Io invece, oggi ho dormito tutto il giorno e mi hanno servito pure tre pasti!
- Io mangerò la mia solita razione di fieno e poi schiaccerò un pisolino. – Rispose il somarello tenendo gli occhi bassi.
- Perbacco, che bella vita che fai! Hai lavorato come come un mulo (non è una battuta. Il maiale disse proprio così) e mangi anche una sola volta al giorno!
- Beh, in fondo mi basta. - Rispose il ciuco.
- Che tristezza che mi fai compare asino! Ti spezzano la schiena, di danno da mangiare a pipe and you're also very pleased!
- I did not say I'm happy. But I am grateful and cohabit peacefully with the fact of being born ass ...
- But I am happy to be born pig. - Said the pig grunting. - No one controls what I do, I have no pain in the ass, the boss is occasionally to scratch my head like a pig and eat it too!
- is true, appears pork - the donkey replied shyly, barely raising his eyes - but there is one thing that you have not seen ...
- And what is this thing? - He broke the pig intrigued.
- A simple thing - said the donkey. - Only one small detail ...
- I'm all ears donkey appears. Tell me more ...
- See my friend ... It 's true that I eat very well and I split the back. But ... You're not last year ...

Light Reactive Lenses

Il mulo e il contadino...


An elderly farmer, a day doing two calculations, he realized that his farm, what they ate and cost more than all was the mule. Did not think of how much work he did for the poor beast, nor the fact that at the end of the day takes him back to the house. No. What he thought his cold mathematical mind was that the mule was too expensive. Point! He was so

idea: to halve the food ration for the quadruped.
The bale of hay that the animals consumed each day was taken as half, yet the beast continued to work as he always did. But deep down, everybody knows, the mules are not complaining.

Seeing that the beast was working with less food too, the clever peasant decided that he could still further optimize costs by halving the proportion of hay. In this way not only would save, but might also have to earn over some little thing.

So that night put in the manger of the poor mule only one fourth of the usual bale of hay.

The farmer was in seventh heaven, his experiment was working. "Here's how to restore the coffers," he said. "Just reduce the food of mule accounts and back!"

The animal, meanwhile, had become more taciturn than usual And before every now and brayed, now he was silent and carrying heavy weights with the blank look that his boss continues to charge on the back.

Seeing that his technique worked very well, the farmer thought that maybe, reducing even more the hay, he could even train his mule in the difficult business of living without eating.

"This would be the best," he confided to a friend of the scoundrel drunk one night when they played tressette and drank wine in front of the barn packed.

said than done. Halved again the hapless quadruped dinner and the next morning again subjected him to a strenuous day's work.

"Tomorrow will be the last Day "the farmer said proudly." Tomorrow, the mule will not have anything for dinner. But I am now convinced that it will be so used to not complain at all. "

But the next day the farmer found dead on his mule.

" What a pity, "thought." It 's dead right now that I managed to get him fast! I guess I was sick ... "The farmer

never understood why his mule was dead and not even have understood all the farmers in this period leave mules dying on the streets of Milan, Turin, Rome, Naples and the rest.

How Does The Body Fight Strep Throat

Tagliare i costi


- Ok, here you have to give a set! - Dice il direttore supremo, guardando dall'alto in basso, il vicecapufficio. - Le ho chiesto ieri di inviare un plico urgente e non l'ha fatto!
