"Late again," the third-grade
teacher said to little Sammy.
"It ain't my fault, Miss
Crabtree. You can blame this on my dad. The reason I'm three hours
late? Dad sleeps nights in the raw!"
Now Miss Crabtree had taught grammar
school for thirty-some-odd years. So she asked little Sammy what
he meant by that, despite her mounting fears.
Full of grins and mischief, and in the
flower of his youth, little Sammy and trouble were old friends,
but he always told the truth. "You see, Miss Crabtree, at the
ranch we got this here lowdown coyote.
The last few nights HE done et six hens
and killed Ma's best milk goat. And last night, when Dad heard a
noise out in the chicken pen, he grabbed his gun and said to Ma,
'That coyote's back again, I'm a gonna git him!'"
"'Stay back, he yelled to all us kids, I
wouldn't want ya hurt!' He was naked as a jaybird, no boots, no
pants, no shirt! To the henhouse he crawled, just like an Injun on
the snoop. Then he stuck that double barrel through the window of
the coop.
As he stared into the darkness, with
coyotes on his mind, our old hound dog Zeke had done woke up and
come asneakin' up behind Dad. Then we all looked on, plumb
helpless as Dad was cold-nosed without warnin'."
"Miss Crabtree, we been cleanin' chickens
since three o'clock this mornin'!"

A Sunday School teacher
asked her children if
anyone could quote the entire 23rd Psalm.
A golden-haired, four-and-a-half-year-old
girl was among those who raised their hands. A bit skeptical, the
teacher asked if she could really quote the entire psalm.
The little girl came to the front of the
room, faced the class, made a perky little bow, and said, "The
Lord is my shepherd, that's all I want."
She bowed again and went and sat down.
That may well be the greatest
interpretation of the 23rd Psalm ever heard.
