Farmer jokes
The farmer's son was returning from the market
with the crate of chicken's his father had entrusted to him, when
all
of a sudden the box fell and broke open. Chickens scurried off
in
different directions, but the determined boy walked all over the
neighborhood scooping up the wayward birds and returning them to
the repaired
crate. Hoping he had found them all, the boy reluctantly
returned home,
expecting the worst.
"Pa, the chickens got
loose," the boy confessed sadly, "but I
managed to find all twelve of
them."
"Well, you did real good, son," the farmer beamed. "You
left with
seven."
