I don't remember it exactly but it involves a politician going door to door campaigning for votes before an election. He comes across one resident who I think is a farmer and he has a talk with him. The conversation ends with the farmer promising to vote for the politician but the politician has to keep a promise or something. I think the farmer might be revered as a wise person among the community and the politician later has him come to his speeches and say a few words.

I could add more but the more I add the less accurate it is likely to be. I'm not sure where I heard it, it might have been on snopes but I can't find it there now.
