A three man are travelling thought

A Muslim, a Hindu and a lawyer are travelling through the desert…

They’ve tried to make good time in their travels, but find that night will fall before they can make it to the next town.

Luckily they find a farm nearby, and they ask the farmer if they can stay for the night.

When he agrees, not wanting to impose too much, they set their sleeping rolls in his barn.

The farmer goes to bed inside, and was on the verge of sleep when he hears a knock at the door.

Slightly annoyed, he goes and opens the door.

The Hindu is at the door with his bedroll and says: “My deepest apologies, but I’ve just realised there is a cow in the barn.

In my religion, cows are sacred and I learned growing up that it is presumptuous to sleep on the same ground as them.

Would you mind if I slept inside?”

The farmer is understanding and allows him to sleep in a spare room.

He goes back to bed and is again on the verge of sleep when another knock arrives.

Disgruntled, he goes to the door and finds the Muslim there with his bedroll.

The Muslim says: “I’m terribly sorry but I’ve realised there is a pig in your barn.

In my religion we consider pigs to be unclean, and I feel it would be impious of me to sleep on the same ground as one.

May I sleep inside?”

The farmer is frustrated, but again understand and allows the Muslim in.

Only the lawyer is left in the barn. Once more, the farmer is on the verge of sleep but hears a knock at the door.

Furious, he stomps to the door, throws it open and is on the verge of shouting when he is brought up short.

The cow and the pig are at the door.
