There is a story of a farm boy who accidentally overturned his wagonload of Corn in the road. The farmer who lived nearby came to investigate.

"Hey, Willis," he called out, "forget your troubles for a spell and come on in and have dinner with us. Then I’ll help you get the wagon up."

"That’s mighty nice of you," Willis answered, "But I don’t think Pa would like me to."

"Aw, come on, son!" the farmer insisted. "Well, okay," the boy finally agreed. "But Pa won’t like it."

After a hearty dinner, Willis thanked his host. "I feel a lot better now, but I just know Pa is going to be real upset."

"Don’t be foolish!" exclaimed the neighbour. "By the way, where is he?"

"Under the wagon."
