Kenny replied: "Well then, just give me my moneyback."
The farmer said: "Can't do that. I went and spent italready."
Kenny said: "OK then, just unload the donkey."
The farmer asked: "What you gonna to do with him?"Kenny: "

I'm going to raffle him off." (Note: Toraffle is to sell a thing by lottery - draw lot -! toa group of people each paying the same amount for aticket)
