Upsetting the Wagon

A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagonload of wheat on the road. The farmer that lived nearby came to investigate. "Hey, son," he called out, "forget your troubles for a while and come and have dinner with us. Then I’ll help you overturn the wagon."

"That’s very nice of you," Willis answered, "but I don’t think Dad would like me to."

"Aw, come on, son!" the farmer insisted.

"Well, OK," the boy finally agreed, "but Dad won’t like it."

After a hearty dinner, the boy thanked the host. "I feel a lot better now, but I know Dad’s going to be real upset."

"Don’t be silly!" said the neighbor. "By the way, where is he?"

"Under the wagon," replied the boy.
