A man from Alaska always dressed his mule in a pair of trousers to help keep it warm during the freezing winters.
One day, he was traveling with the mule through a town in the Midwest.
As they walked down the street, everyone stopped and stared at the unusual sight.
Even the town sheriff became curious.
He walked over and asked,
“Why is your mule wearing trousers?”
The old man smiled and replied,
“To keep him warm!”
