A journalist interviews a farmer: “if you have two bungalows, are you willing to give one to the country?”
The farmer, without hesitation, “sure! For communism!”
Journalist: “if you have two tractors, will you give one to the country?”
Farmer: “of course! For the better development of our country!”
Journalist: “if you have two million bucks, will you give one million to the country?”
Farmer: “yes! For the livelihood of our comrades!”
Journalist: “if you have two cows, will you give one to the country?”
The farmer keeps silent and looking at the journalist, so the journalist has to ask again: “will you?”
The farmer answers firmly: “No”.
The journalist is confused: “you are so generous about money and houses and tractors, but why do you draw the line at cows?”
“Because”, says the farmer: “I do have two cows”.
