Mother Superior in the convent was laying on her death bed. Every evening, the nuns would bring her fresh milk from the convent's cow, but lacing it with some brandy. Every evening, the Reverend Mother would fall asleep with a smile on her face.

When the time came, that it was obvious that the Reverend Mother would no longer last the night, after giving her the usual glass of milk, one of the nuns asked that in her wisdom, was there anything she could pass along that would be useful for the members of the convent by way of advice.

The Reverend Mother, with her dying breath whispered "Don't sell the cow."
