The Three Bulls

Laughter has a way of cutting through stress and bringing people closer. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple farmyard tale to remind us not only to smile but also to reflect on confidence, identity, and perspective.

The Bulls’ Story

On a quiet ranch, three bulls lived proudly, each with his own herd.

• The first bull, seasoned after five years, declared: “I’m not giving up any of my 100 cows.”
• The second, three years in, insisted: “I’ve earned my 50 cows. They’re mine.”
• The youngest, just a year on the ranch, stood firm: “I may be small, but I’m keeping all 10 of my cows.”

Then came the twist. An 18-wheeler rolled in carrying a colossal 4,700-pound bull—the largest they’d ever seen. His sheer size shifted the mood instantly.

• The first bull softened: “Maybe I can spare a few cows.”
• The second quickly agreed: “I’ve got too many anyway.”

But the youngest bull? He pawed the dirt, snorted, and kicked up dust. Alarmed, the older bulls warned him not to be reckless.

His reply was perfect:
“He can have all my cows. I just want him to know—I’m a bull.”

The humor lands because it’s not about territory—it’s about identity. The smallest bull wasn’t protecting cows; he was protecting his place, his dignity, his right to be seen.

The Calves’ Story

Elsewhere on the farm, a momma cow raised four calves.

• One asked: “Momma, why am I called Rose?”
  “Because a rose petal fell on your head when you were born,” she explained.
• Another asked: “Why am I Lily?”
  “Because a lily petal fell on your head.”
• A third asked: “Why Daisy?”
  “Because a daisy petal fell on your head.”

Finally, the fourth calf waddled over and blurted: “Huh Ruh Buh Duh!”

The momma cow sighed: “Be quiet, Cinderblock.”

The punchline is absurd, unexpected, and hilarious—proof that humor thrives in surprise.

Why These Stories Work

Both jokes rely on timing, perspective, and giving animals human-like voices. They’re playful, harmless, and relatable.

• The bulls reflect pride, insecurity, and the need for recognition.
• The calves reflect innocence, curiosity, and the joy of unpredictability.

Together, they remind us:

• Confidence isn’t always about strength—it’s about knowing who you are.
• Life doesn’t always follow neat patterns, and sometimes laughter comes from the unexpected.

Final Thought

In a world full of deadlines and responsibilities, stories like these are little mental breaks. They invite us to smile, share, and remember that humor doesn’t need to be complicated to be meaningful.

Whether you’re the biggest bull in the pasture or the smallest one pawing the dirt, confidence comes from standing tall in your own identity. And sometimes, all it takes to brighten a day is a calf named Cinderblock.
