Negative Thinking Story
Murphy's Plough
|
|
|
|
|
McGinty, a
farmer, needed to plough his field before the dry spell set in, but
his own plough had broken.
"I know, I'll ask my neighbour, farmer
Murphy, to borrow his plough. He's a good man; I'm sure he'll have
done his ploughing by now and he'll be glad to lend me his machine." |
|
|
So
McGinty began to walk the three
or four fields to Murphy's farm.
After a field of walking,
McGinty says to himself, "I hope
that Murphy has finished all his
own ploughing or he'll not be
able to lend me his machine..."
|
|
|
|
|
And after another field, McGinty says,
"Murphy was never a very helpful fellow, I reckon maybe he won't be
too keen to lend me his plough even if it's in perfect working order
and he's finished all his own ploughing weeks ago...." |
|
|
As
McGinty arrives at Murphy's
farm, McGinty is thinking, "That
old Murphy can be a mean old
fellow. I reckon even if he's
got all his ploughing done, and
his own machine is sitting there
doing nothing, he'll not lend it
to me just so watch me go to
ruin..."

McGinty walks up Murphy's front
path, knocks on the door, and
Murphy answers. "Well good
morning Mr McGinty, what can I
do for you?" says Murphy.
And McGinty says, with eyes
bulging, "You can take your
bloody plough, and you can stick
it up your bloody arse"
