The year 2002, The Beckhams living on a Ranch in USA and have spent most of their money but have a small herd of cows left. They decide the best thing they can do is buy a bull to service the cows and increase their living. David sends Victoria by train to an auction 80 miles away with $12000 to buy the bull. She bids for and buys a bull for $11900 and has $100 left which is not enough to send a telegram to David to tell him to come get her and the bull but the telegrapher tells her she can send one word of up to twelve letters for $100.
After some thought she says send the word 'comfortable' which the telegrapher duly did. He asked her how David would know what she wanted....so she enlightened him by telling him that David is not a great reader and would read the word syllable by syllable so he would understand the message.
