It was many years ago since the embarrassing day when a young
woman, with a baby in her arms, entered his butcher shop and
confronted the butcher with the news that the baby was his and asked
what was he going to do about it?
Finally he offered to provide her with free meat until the
boy was 16. She agreed.
He had been counting the years off on his calender, and one
day the teenager who had been collecting the meat each week,
came into the shop and said, "I'll be 16 tomorrow."
"I know," said the butcher with a smile, "I've been counting
too, tell your mother, when you take this parcel of meat
home, that it is the last free meat she'll get, and watch the
expression on her face."
When the boy arrived home he told his mother. The woman
nodded and said, "Son, go back to the butcher and tell him I
have also had free bread, free milk, and free groceries for
the last 16 years and watch the expression on HIS face!" |
