Hunting on a farm

（单词翻译:单击）

A carload of hunters, looking for a place to hunt, pulled into a farmer's
yard.

The driver went up to the farmhouse1 to ask permission to hunt.

The old farmer said, "Sure you can hunt, but would you do me a favor? That old mule2 standing3 over there is 20 years old and sick with cancer, but I don't have the heart to kill her. Would you do it for me?"

The hunter said, "Sure," and headed for the car. While walking back,
however, he decided4 to pull a trick on his hunting buddies5.

He got into the car and when they asked if the farmer had said okay, he said, "No, we can't hunt here, but I'm going to teach that old cuss a lesson."

With that, he rolled down his window, stuck his gun out and blasted the mule.

As he exclaimed, "There, that will teach him!" a second shot rang out from the passenger side. One of his hunting buddies shouted, "I got the cow!"
