"Late again," the third-grade teacher said to little Sammy.
"It ain't my fault this time," Miss Crabtree. "You can blame
this'un on my
Daddy. The reason I'm three hours late is my Daddy sleeps naked!"
Now Miss Crabtree had taught grammar school for thirty-some-odd years.
Despite her mounting fears, she asked little Sammy what h e meant by that.
Full of grins & mischief, & in the flower of his youth, little
Sammy &
trouble were old friends, but he always told her the truth.
"You see, Miss Crabtree; out at the ranch we got this here low down
coyote. The last few nights he done ate six hens & killed Ma's best
milk
goat. Last night, when Daddy heard a noise out in the chicken pen, he
grabbed his shot gun & said to Ma, "That coyote's back again,
I'm a gonna
git him!'"
'Stay back, he whispered to all us kids!"
He was naked as a jaybird, no boots, no pants, no shirt!
To the hen house he crawled, just like an Injun on the snoop. Then he
stuck that double barreled 12 Gauge shotgun through the window of the
coop. As he stared into the darkness, with coyotes on his mind, our old
hound dog Zeke had done woke up & comes sneaking' up behind Daddy.
Then as
we all looked on plumb helpless; old Zeke stuck his cold nose in Daddy's
crack!
"Miss Crabtree, we all been cleanin' chickens since three o'clock
this
mornin'!"
