pleads with him that now that he is graduating from school he would
really like to get a car.
His father says, "Son, come with me!" He takes him to the barn and
points to the farm tractor and says, "This tractor is needed for the
farm and I promise, as soon as it's paid for, we'll get you a car."
The boy was not too happy but he understood and said, "Ok, Dad." A
week later his second son, (10 yr. old), approaches him wanting a new
two wheel bike.
Well, he gets the same excuse "....as soon as the tractor is paid for...."
Shortly after that his youngest is bugging him for a tricycle. Again,
dad gives him the lecture about the tractor needing to be paid off
first.
While leaving the barn, the young boy, a little disgusted with the
whole thing, sees the rooster mating with one of the hens, and
promptly goes over and kicks the rooster off the hens back, mumbling
to himself. His dad standing near by says, "Son, why would you do
something like that? He didn't do anything to you to deserve that."
The little boy says "Hey, nobody but nobody, rides anything around
here until that damn tractor is paid off!!!"
