The old man and the boy

There once was an old man who sat on his porch all day and watched life go by. It was relaxing and interesting for him. One day, he saw a neighbourhood boy walk past with some chicken wire.

He shouted "Why you got all that chicken wire boy?" to which they reply was "Gonna catch me some chickens Mister!"

The old man's wife asked out the kitchen window what was happening - The old man explained.

Laughing to himself the old man had a sip of his sherry and fell asleep.

When he awoke, he saw the same boy walking back past his house with a bunch of chickens caught up in chicken wire. His eyes widened for a second and then he just laughed "Lucky little bugger!"

The next day, he was out on his porch again drinking beer and relaxing. He saw the same boy walking past with rolls and rolls of duct tape.

He shouted out to the boy "What you doin' with all that duck tape?"

The boy replied "I'm gonna go catch me some ducks!"

The old man's wife asked out the kitchen window what was happening - The old man explained.

The old man laughed at his innocence and fell asleep.

At dusk he awoke and saw the boy walking back through town with a lot of ducks tangled up in the duct tape.

He was quite surprised.

The next day he was paying more attention and saw the young boy walking past carrying something. "What you got there boy?" he asked.

"Got me some pussy-willow" replied the boy.

The old mans wife started to talk but was interrupted by the old man - "I'm gonna go help the boy today!"
