English Original
A farmer driving down the road spots a sign: "Mule For Sale." He decides to inspect the animal. The owner claims it's the fastest mule alive and quite unique.
The owner explains that the mule only moves when it hears "Praise the Lord," and the more it's said, the faster it goes. To stop it, one must say "Hallelujah." The farmer decides to test this. He mounts the mule and shouts, "Praise the Lord!" The mule takes off. He then yells, "Hallelujah!" and it stops.
Seeing he's a good distance away, the farmer decides to see how fast the mule can go. He repeatedly shouts, "Praise the Lord!" and the mule speeds up.
Looking up, the farmer sees he's approaching a high cliff overlooking a deep canyon. He realizes he must stop the mule but has forgotten the command. In a panic, he starts shouting random words: "Amen!" "Glory!" "Sweet Jesus!" "Amazing Grace!" As he gets dangerously close to the edge, he finally remembers and yells, "Hallelujah!!!" The mule stops dead in its tracks.
Out of breath and shaking, the farmer wipes his brow, looks up to heaven, and sighs, "Whew! Praise the Lord!"
中文翻译
一位农夫开车在路上，看到一块牌子写着：“骡子出售”。他决定去看看这头牲口。卖主声称这是世上最快的骡子，而且非常独特。
卖主解释说，这头骡子只有在听到“赞美主”时才会走，而且这句话说得越多，它就跑得越快。要让它停下来，必须说“哈利路亚”。农夫决定试一试。他骑上骡子，大喊：“赞美主！”骡子便跑了起来。接着他喊：“哈利路亚！”骡子就停下了。
见自己已离卖主很远，农夫想看看这骡子到底能跑多快。他一遍又一遍地喊：“赞美主！”骡子便加速飞奔。
农夫抬头一看，发现自己正冲向一处高高的悬崖，下方是深深的峡谷。他意识到必须让骡子停下来，却忘了口令。情急之下，他开始胡乱喊叫：“阿门！”“荣耀！”“亲爱的主！”“奇异恩典！”就在他快要冲到悬崖边时，他终于想起来了，大喊一声：“哈利路亚！！！”骡子猛地停了下来。
农夫气喘吁吁，惊魂未定，擦了擦额头的汗，仰望天空，叹道：“呼！赞美主！”
