The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, but I got some bad news. The donkey died."
"Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer sighed, and said, "I can't do that, I already spent it."
The Cajun grumbled, and said, "Okay, then just unload the donkey."
"What are you going to do with him?"
The Cajun shrugged, and said, "I'm going to raffle him off."
The farmer looked a bit shocked, shook his head, and said, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
The Cajun chuckled. "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anyone he's dead."
A month later the farmer met up with the Cajun and asked, "What happened with the dead donkey?"
The Cajun grinned, and said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2.00 a piece and made a profit of $898.00."
The farmer was a bit dubious. "Didn't anyone complain?"
The Cajun chuckled again, then grinned. "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $2.00 back."
