[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]A rancher got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring ranch and knocked at the door. A young boy, about 9, opened the door. "Is your Dad home?" the rancher asked..
[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]"No sir, he isn't," the boy replied.. "He went into town."
[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]"Well," said the rancher, "Is your Mother here?"
[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]"No sir, she's not here either. She went into town with Dad." [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?" [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]"No sir, He went with Mom and Dad." [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]The rancher stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other and mumbling to himself. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]"Is there anything I can do for you?" the boy asked politely. "I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one. Or maybe I could take a message for Dad." [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]"Well," said the rancher uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Suzie, pregnant."' [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]The boy considered for a moment. "You would have to talk to Pa about that," he finally conceded. "If it helps you any, I know that Pa charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the hog, but I really don't know how much he gets for Howard.":sign0108:[/FONT]
