  1. 20-12-37 Funny Story
    There was a woman one time. She lived in an owl house in a quarry. She had a whole lot of rats that she used to feed every day. But one day she had no more for them. So the rats went out that night to the farmers pit, and they drew home potatoes until they had the house full. They had plenty to eat then.
