The Long Eared Donkey
A farmer kept a donkey in a stable, but the donkey's ears were so long that they repeatedly hit the top of the door, causing the animal to kick out dangerously. So the farmer decided to raise the height of the door frame.
He spent all day toiling away with his hacksaw. Seeing that he was struggling to complete the task, his neighbour suggested: "Instead of lifting the door frame, wouldn't it be easier if you simply dug out the ground in the doorway and made it deeper?"
"Don't be an idiot," said the farmer. "It's the donkey's ears that are too long, not his legs!"
