A shepherd is relaxing after a long day, when a businessman comes by.

He's sat on the grass, chewing on a straw, watching his sheep roam around under the last rays of the setting sun. A jeep leaving behind clouds of dust stops before him, and off gets a businessman clad in an expensive suit and leather shoes with a camera on his hands.

The businessman starts snapping pictures of the surrounding area and, once he's finished, looks at the shepherd with curiosity and asks, "Is this your land?"

"Aye..." responds the shepherd.

A look of glee forms in the businessman's eyes as he asks again, "And are those your sheep?"

"Aye..." says the shepherd.

"Would you sell some of your land?" asks the businessman.

The shepherd looks up, studying the businessman with a cautious look, before searching upon his eyes and asks "And why would I do that?"

"So you can make some money, and buy more sheep," explains the businessman with a smirk.

"And why would I buy more sheep?" asks the shepherd.

"So you can sell their wool, and make more money," says the businessman.

"And why would I do that?" insists the shepherd.

"So you can buy even more sheep, and sell even more wool," says the businessman.

"And why would I do that?" asks the shepherd.

"So, at some point, you can build a factory and fill it with looms," says the businessman.

"And why would I do that?" asks the shepherd.

"So you can make your wool into clothes, instead of selling it, and make even more money," explains the businessman.

The shepherd looks at his sheep for a second, spitting out the chewed straw, and asks, "And why would I do that?"

"So you can buy more and more sheep, sell more and more clothes, and make more and more money," says the businessman, getting giddy at the thought.

"And why would I do that?" asks the shepherd.

"So you can be rich!" offers the businessman.

"And why would I want that?" asks the shepherd.

"So you can build yourself a mansion. Right here!" says the businessman, tapping the ground with his foot.

"And why would I do that?" asks the shepherd.

"So you can have a big bedroom. On the top floor! With big windows! And a big balcony!" says the businessman, his voice increasing in volume.

"And why would I do that?" asks the shepherd.

"So you can sit back, look over your sheep, enjoy the sunset... Enjoy life!" says the businessman, practically jumping up with excitement.

"Aye... And what do you think I was doing before you came here?"
