In an old country church a young pastor arrived, very excited to be at his first church. After waiting a while, it seemed that only one old farmer had shown up.
The pastor was disappointed and said to the farmer, "The seems to be no one else coming, perhaps we should cancel the service."
The farmer, all dressed up in his Sunday best, said to the Pastor, "Well sir, I don't know much bout preachin', but I do know somethin' bout farmin'. If I went out to my field and I found only one cow, I'd still feed 'em."
Obviously the young pastor was thrilled. He went on to preach a fire and brimstone sermon for the next 45 minutes.
When he was done, he asked the farmer what he thought about the service.
The farmer responded, "Well sir, I don't know much bout preachin', but I do know somthin' bout farmin'. If I went out to my field to feed my cattle and I found only one cow, I wouldn't give 'em the whole bale."
