With the price of fuel and spare parts constantly on the rise, the big industrial company decided it would be more economical to make all deliveries within the company by horse and wagon. Ads were published in the classified sections of all large newspapers but no candidates came forward. The ads were published again and at last someone applied for the vacant post.
“But you are a dog,” - wondered the head of the Manager of Personnel.
“Of course” - answered the candidate, - “but I am strong and ready to do the job of a horse. I am even willing to neigh and eat oats. I have a big family to support and I really need the job.”
The canine applicant got the job and indeed fulfilled his task satisfactorily.
A few months later there was a big burglary on the premises and the manager of Internal Security decided that if the guards had had a good dog, the burglars would have been frightened away. Again a ‘Wanted’ ad was published and after a while a horse came and applied for the vacant position.
“I am ready to do anything a dog can do,” - said the equine candidate. “I can bark quite well, can subsist on bones and if necessary will even wag my tail”.
The horse got the job and presumably did his job well enough. At least there were no additional burglaries at the company. One day the dog and horse met by chance in the dining room.
“What are you doing here?” - asked the surprised dog.
“I work as a watch-dog,” - answered the horse. “And what is your job in our company?”
“I pull a wagon,” - said the dog.
The two employees discussed their respective positions and decided that it would be advantageous for all concerned, if they swapped jobs. The dog took it on himself to arrange the matter with the Manager of Personnel.
“I foresee no problem,” - he remarked. “Surely he will see that it is more reasonable if a dog does a dog’s job and a horse a horse’s job.”
After a while the dog slouched back with a dejected face, ears down, tail between his legs.
“What happened?” - asked the horse.
“What happened is that the job of Manager of Personnel was given to a donkey!”
