Two childhood friends who were studying together and had
grown up together went for different jobs after having completed their academic
courses. One became a businessman and the other an economist. One day the
economist was walking through the green fields and pastures when he discovered
that the person whom he met happened to be his childhood friend. Coming close
near the person he told him if he could recognize him. The other man in the
field immediately hugged him and asked about his welfare. Seeing the flock of
sheep and lambs so cute, the economist wanted to take one home for his son.
The economist then told him that he was looking for the shepherd.
Your friend in front of you is the shepherd. The economist then said, “If I can
guess how many sheep you have, will you let me take one of these home?”
The shepherd said, “Of course.”
The economist looked around, made some calculations and
after a few minutes said, “You have 879 sheep.”
The shepherd was shocked because he had exactly 879 sheep. In
the heart of his hearts the shepherd was sad and angry.
While the economist picked up one the white fur animals and
started walking, the shepherd said, “Wait a minute. If I can figure out what
your job is, will you give me the animal back?”
The economist thought the guy would never figure it out as
they had never met for over decades, and said, “Yes, sure.”
The shepherd looked at him and said, “I bet you are an
economist.”
The economist totally shocked said, “How do you figure that
out?”
“Because you picked up my dog.” Said the shepherd.
