A Funny Story
“There was a man carring bogdeal to the Town and selling it....”
There was a man carring bogdeal to the Town and selling it and he used drink all the money he used to get for it and go to sleep in the car. The jennet had the habit of going home and standing at the door. Some boys saw him and they said they would play a trick on him. So they took the man out of the car and took the wheels and the rail off the car and opened the door and carried the car in. They put the wheels and the rail on the car and put the man into it. Next morning he awoke and found himself inside in his own house. He got such a fright that he never again drank.
