There once lived an elderly country man, deep in the hills, with a wife who never seemed to find peace with anything.

From the moment the rooster crowed until the moon hung high in the sky, she would grumble about every little thing imaginable.

The only time the old man felt any quiet in his soul was when he hitched up his stubborn old mule and headed out to till the soil. Naturally, he chose to work the fields as often as possible.

One warm afternoon, while he was guiding the plow through his field, his wife showed up with his lunch. He led the mule over to a shady patch, took a seat on an old tree stump, and started into his meal. But before he could finish his first bite, she launched into another marathon of complaints—raising her voice, criticizing, and going on like a broken record.

Out of nowhere, the mule let loose a powerful kick with both hind legs—right to the back of her head. She fell over instantly, never to speak another word.

A few days later at her funeral, the pastor noticed a peculiar pattern.

When a female mourner came to speak to the old man, he’d nod his head thoughtfully after listening. But if a male mourner said something, the old man would frown and shake his head.

Curious, the pastor waited until the service ended and then quietly pulled the old man aside.

“I couldn’t help but notice,” said the pastor, “you nodded when the women spoke but shook your head when the men did. Why the difference?”

The old man scratched his beard and said,
“Well, the ladies were saying she looked peaceful or that she wore a lovely dress. I agreed with them, so I nodded.”
The pastor nodded slowly. “And the men?”

“They all kept asking if the mule was up for sale.”
