The next day Bongani showed up at Sipho's doorstep.
"Sorry Sipho, but the cow died last night".
"OK", said Sipho, " Give me my money back".
" Sorry, I have already spent it," said Bongani.
"Eish!... Ok, bring me the dead cow". said Sipho
The next morning, the carcass was delivered to Sipho.
A fortnight later, Bongani bumped into Sipho and asked him what he did with the dead cow.
"Oh, I raffled it, and sold 251 tickets at R5 each and made a profit of R850.! I just didn't tell anybody that the cow was dead".
"But didn't people complain?" asked Bongani in amazement.
"Only the guy who won, so I gave him his R5 back".
Sipho is now Minister of Finance.
