Two young teenage boys in Boston got in trouble with a local gang, there
mother having had enough decides to put an end to their running with
gangs. tells the boys at supper they are going to spend the summer
outside of the city with their Uncle Vernon. puts the boys on the train
and sends them to her brothers for the summer. The boys get there just
after dark, have supper and tired from the trip go to bed. The next
morning the boys are up and about soon after daybreak, wandering around
the farm they find a deep hole in the ground, Standing there dropping
rocks into the hole like boys will do one says to the other, "you know
Uncle Vernon is getting up in age and doesn't see to well, we should put
something in this hole so he doesn't fall into it." They look around,
find a railroad tie and with great effort manage to upend it next to the
hole, shove it in and watch as it falls out of sight. Their looking
wide eyed at each other when a brown and white billy goat comes rushing
between them and down into the hole. Both are standing there looking at
each other mouths open when the old farmer next door walks up," You
boys ain't seen my old brown and white billy goat he ask?" "Yea" the
older of the two answers," he just came running through here and fell
down in to that hole. "Na, can't be my goat," the old farmer replies,"
My old goat is on a long chain tied to a railroad tie."

Smile,
Amos
