...one morning. A young boy walks past dragging some chicken wire behind him.
Hey son, what you got there? calls out the old man.
Got some chicken wire replies the lad, gonna catch me some chickens
You daft fool, says the old man, you cant catch chicken with chicken wire.
The lad smiles knowingly and walks on. Later on that evening he passes the old man while dragging his chicken wire with half a dozen chickens caught in it.
The next morning the old man is on his porch when the same young lad walks past dragging some tape behind him.
Hey son, what you got there? calls out the old man.
Got some duck tape, gonna catch me some ducks, replies the lad.
You daft fool! says the old man, you cant get no ducks with duck tape.
The lad smiles knowingly and walks on. Later on that evening he passes the old man while dragging his duck tape with half a dozen ducks caught in it.
The next day the old man is on his porch when the same boy walks past dragging a branch behind him.
Hey son, what you got there? calls out the old man.
Got me some pussy willow, replies the lad.
Hold on a minute, says the old man, I'll get my coat.
