It was a cold and misty Christmas morning in the very depth of Winter after a heavy fall of snow and only one farmer and the minister managed to arrive at the church for the morning service.

"Well," said the clergyman, "I guess there's no point in having a service today."

"Well that's not how I see it." said the farmer. "If only one cow turns up at feeding time, I still feed it."

这是一个寒冷的圣诞节清晨，雾很重，积雪很厚。只有一名农民和牧师设法到达教堂做祷告。 

牧师说：“ 我想今天做祷告是没有意义的。”

“我可不这么认为。”农民说，“只要有一只奶牛在喂养时出现，我仍然喂它。”
