The only cow in the small town of Munruben stopped
giving milk. The locals did some research and found
they could buy a cow from Wallan for $200.
They bought the cow and found it was a wonderful
producer and kept the village in milk and the people
were happy.
The good people of Munruben decided to buy a bull
to mate with the Wallan cow and produce more cows
like it so they would never have to worry about the
milk suppy again.
They duly found a bull and bought it and put it in the
paddock with the cow from Wallan.
However, whenever the bull came near the cow, the
cow would move away. No matter what approach the
bull tried, the cow would move away and he could not
succeed in his quest.
The Rubens, as they are known, were very upset and
decided to ask the local vet. They told the vet what
was happening.
The vet considered the matter for a while and asked,
"Did you buy this cow from Wallan, in Victoria.
The people were dumbfounded, since they had never
mentioned where they bought the cow. "You are
truly a wise vet," they said. "How did you know we
got the cow from Wallan?"
The vet replied, with a distant look in his eye, and
replied, "My wife comes from Wallen."
