A little boy and his Uncle Banta are raking leaves in the yard. The little boy sees an earthworm trying to get back into its hole. He says, "Uncle, I bet I can put that worm back in that hole." Banta replies, "I`ll bet you fifty rupees, you can`t. It`s too wiggly and limp to put back in that little hole." The little boy runs into the house and comes back out with a can of hair spray. He sprays the worm until it is straight and stiff as a board. Then he stuffs the worm back into the hole. Banta hands the little boy fifty rupees, grabs the hair spray and runs into the house. Thirty minutes later, Banta comes back out and hands the little boy another fifty rupees. The little boy says, "Uncle, you already gave me fifty rupees." Banta replies, "I know. That`s from your aunt." |
