  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    Two men were mowing in a field of grass and they came to a nest of weasles. The two old weasles ran away and spat into the mens drink. The two men took up the young weasles and handled them. They left them down again because they were afraid of the old weasles. When the old weasles saw that their young were left alone they overturned the can that held the drink. The two men worked away unconscious of the danger they had been in.
