A motorist driving by a Texas ranch hit and killed a calf that was crossing the road..
The driver went to the owner of the calf and explained what had happened.. He then asked what the animal was worth..
"Oh, about $200 today," said the rancher..
"But in six years it would have been worth $900.. So $900 is what I'm out.."
The motorist sat down and wrote out a check and handed it to the farmer..
"Here," he said, "is the check for $900.. It is post-dated six years from now.."
