Description:There are two rich neighbors with cattle ranches. One rich man is good and honest, and the other is bad and very jealous. The bad one is jealous of the health and abundance of the good one's cattle, so he decides to invite him over for dinner to learn the secrets of his success. The good one arrives with his wife and cowhand. When asked why his animals are doing so well, he says he does not know but his cowboy is just very good. When the good guy asks how the bad guy's cattle are, the bad guy lies and says they are all great. Later, the bad man's wife says she will try to ruin the good guy. She speaks to the good man's cowboy in secret and tells him she'll pay him to kill the good rich man's big healthy bull. The cowboy says he does not want money but wants her. She agrees to sleep with him. He kills the bull as laid out in the deal, and she sleeps with him. The cowboy frets about how to cover up the fact that he killed the bull, and imagines ways to stage it as an accident. He decides to tell the truth as always and stick to his principles. At the next dinner gathering between the two families, he is asked how the big bull is by the bad rich man. He says that for a woman with a beautiful face and large nice ass, the big healthy bull died. His boss, the good rich man says the cowboy never lies, and the bad rich folks are shamed.Audio duration [00:10:54]
