Here's what I did.
I bought an ass from a peasant, paying him 100$ in advance. The next morning, the peasant comes to me, without my ass.
- I'm terribly sorry, but the ass died last night.
- Ok, then give me my 100$ back.
- I can't, I've already spent them all.
- Alright, piss off then, just leave the ass with me.
- But why the hell would you want it?
- I'll arrange a lottery and have it as a prize.
- Who the hell would get a lottery ticket, if they know the ass is dead?
- Why would I tell anyone that it's dead?
Next week the peasant sees me in the street.
- Hey, so how did that ass thing go?
- I held a lottery, sold 500 tickets for 2$ each, and so, not counting the 100$ I gave you, made 900$ profit.
- Didn't anyone complain?
- No, just the guy that won the dead ass. He was really pissed off... so I gave him his money back.
