Hodjas Ziegen

Nasreddin Hodja was walking in the countryside with one black and one white goat in front of him. A man approached and after a little chat he started asking about the goats:
- how much feed do they eat in a day?
- which one are you asking, the white goat or the black goat?
(the man thought that was a stupid question but wanted to hear the answer)
- well, the white one?
- he eats one buck of feed a day
- the black goat?
- the same the black also eats one buck
(the man confused and a bit angry but continued questioning)
- how much milk do they give in a day?
- which one are you asking, the white goat or the black goat?
- oh well! tell me the black goat.
- he gives a liter of milk in a day
- the white goat?
- the same, white goat also gives a liter.
(the man was really angry this time)
- are you kidding with me! if they are the same why do you ask me "which one?" all the time?
(hodja replies calmly)
- the white goat is mine goat.
- so what about the black, whose goat is it?
- the same, the black goat is also mine.
