Three bulls heard that the rancher was bringing a new bull onto their ranch. Worried about losing their cows, they began discussing how they would handle the newcomer.

The first bull said, “I’ve been here for five years, and I’m not giving this new bull any of my 100 cows.”

The second bull added, “I’ve been here three years and earned my right to 50 cows. I’m keeping every single one.”

The youngest bull, who had only been there for a year, said, “I may not be as big as you two, but I’ve worked hard for my 10 cows, and I’m keeping them all!”

Suddenly, an enormous 18-wheeler pulled into the pasture. The trailer opened, revealing the biggest bull they had ever seen. Weighing an incredible 4,700 pounds, he stepped down the ramp, making the entire ground shake.

The first bull immediately changed his attitude. “You know, I think I can spare a few cows for our new friend.”

The second bull quickly agreed. “Actually, I have more cows than I can handle. I’m happy to share some. There’s no reason to cause trouble.”

Then they noticed the youngest bull pawing the ground, shaking his horns, and snorting furiously.

The first bull warned him, “Son, don’t be foolish! Just let him have some of your cows and live to tell about it.”

The youngest bull looked at the enormous newcomer and replied, “Hell, he can have every single one of my cows! I’m just making sure he knows I’m a bull!”

Sometimes, it’s not about winning the fight or keeping what you have. It’s about making sure nobody mistakes your willingness to walk away for a lack of courage!
