An old farmer was sitting on the front porch. A boy walked by dragging some chicken wire. The famer asked, "What's with the chicken wire?" The boy answered, "I'm going to go get some chickens." The old man laughed and told him, "That's not how it works!" 30 minutes later, the boy walked home with 2 chickens.
The next day, the boy walked by with a handful of milkweed. The farmer asked, "What's with the milkweed?" The boy answered, "I'm going to go get some milk." The old man laughed and told him. "That's not how it works!" 30 minutes later, the boy walked home with 2 pails of milk.
The next day, the boy walked by with a handful of pussywillow. The farmer said, "Wait'll I get my hat!"
