Farmer's complaint

[gilmore]

John was aye complaining, but this year he was more vocal than usual as the harvest had been bad. Meeting his Parish Minister the conversation inevitably turned to the persistent troubles of the farmer.

"Well, John" the Minister assured him "you may have good cause to complain, but you must never forget that Providence looks after all things and even the birds of the air are provided for."

"Ay"replied John "aff ma craps."

We have saying over here;"you never see a satisfied farmer or a dead donkey". Where does a dead donkey fit in? I hear you ask.Well have you ever seen a dead donkey?Not often?Then you won't see a satisfied farmer that often,either!
