A farmer was trying to sell his prize bull to a wealthy, sophisticated city woman who wanted to start her own ranch.<\/p>\n
She walked around the massive animal, studying him carefully.<\/p>\n
Then she asked,<\/p>\n
\u201cIs he\u2026 energetic?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The farmer grinned proudly.<\/p>\n \u201cLady, this bull is so powerful, he can handle the entire herd before lunch and still have enough energy left to chase the mailman all afternoon!\u201d<\/p>\n The woman raised her eyebrows, clearly impressed.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s incredible. And what exactly do you feed him to keep up that kind of performance?\u201d<\/p>\n The farmer chuckled.<\/p>\n \u201cNothing fancy.\u201d<\/p>\n He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small container.<\/p>\n He held it up with a mysterious smile.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, ma\u2019am\u2026 it\u2019s not what you think.\u201d<\/p>\n The woman leaned closer.<\/p>\n Then her eyes went wide.<\/p>\n Inside the container was\u2026<\/p>\n a handful of coffee beans.<\/strong><\/p>\n She stared at him.<\/p>\n \u201cCoffee?\u201d<\/p>\n The farmer nodded.<\/p>\n \u201cYep.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s the secret?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSure is.\u201d<\/p>\n She looked at the bull.<\/p>\n Then at the coffee.<\/p>\n Then back at the farmer.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I thought you said he was naturally energetic!\u201d<\/p>\n The farmer smiled.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is. The coffee is for me. Try keeping up with that bull all day without it!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The woman burst out laughing.<\/p>\n \u201cSo the bull doesn’t need the energy boost?\u201d<\/p>\n The farmer shook his head.<\/p>\n \u201cNope. He’s the reason I need it.\u201d<\/strong> \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\udc02\u2615<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A farmer was trying to sell his prize bull to a wealthy, sophisticated city woman who wanted to start her own ranch.
