A man was trying to find the village of Chirton. He could not find any sign for it so he decided to drive up to a farmhouse and ask a farmer for directions.

He soon came to the entrance to a farm. Above the gate there was a sign : Please close the gate. The man knew this meant there were cows in the fields,so he was very careful to close the gate after him.

Before long he came to another gate. This,too,had a sign: Please close the gate. Once again he got out of his car,opened the gate,drove through,stopped his car,got out,closed the gate,got back into his car and drove on.

It wasn’t long before he came to a third gate. This,too, had a sign: Please close the gate. Again the man got out of his car,opened the gate,drove through,stopped his car,got out,closed  the  gate,got  back  into  his car and drove on.

He did this five times before he reached the farmhouse. Fortunately,the farmer was standing at the door.

“What can I do for you?” he asked the man.

“I’m looking for Chirton. Do you know where it is?”

“Sorry,” the farmer said. “I’ve only been here for a few weeks. I don’t know the area. ”

The man thanked him,and drove back to the road. On the way he had to open and close five gates.

When he reached the road,he looked back at the farm. He  could  see  the  farmer  waving  to him. “Ah!” he thought. “He’s remembered where Chirton is. ”

He turned around,stopped his car,got out,opened the gate,drove through,stopped the car, got out,closed the gate,got back in the car and drove off. He had to do this four more times before he reached the farm.

“Have you remembered where Chirton is?” he asked the farmer.

“No”’the farmer replied,“but I asked my wife. She doesn’t know either. ”
