To the houses where the man is the boss, he gave a horse. To the houses where the woman is the boss, a chicken was given.
He got toward the end of the street and saw a couple outside gardening.
"Who's the boss around here?", he asked.
"I am", said the man.
"I have a black horse and a brown horse", the farmer said, "which one would you like?"
The man thought for a minute and said: "The black one."
"No, no, no, get the brown one", the man's wife said.
"Here's your chicken", said the farmer.
