"Over the hill trailed a
man behind a mule drawing
a plow. Said the man to the
mule:
" 'Bill, you are a mule, the
son of a jackass, and I am a
man made in the image of
God. Yet we work here,
hitched up together year in
and year out. I often wonder
if you work for me or if I
work for you. Verily. I think
it is a partnership between
a mule and a fool, for surely
I work as hard as you. if not
harder. Plowing or cultivating,
we cover the same dis
tance, but you do it on four
legs and I on two. I. there1
fore, do twice as much work
as you do.
" 'Soon we'll be preparing
I for a corn crop. When the
crop is harvested. I give onethird
to the landlord for
1 being so kind as to let me
i use this small piece of God's
universe. One-third goes to
you and the balance is mine.
You consume all your porl

hens, two ducks, and a bank?

Ihilders is the groom. Father of
light
winter, the whole family,
from Granny to the baby,
picks cotton to help raise
money to pay taxes and buy
a new harness and pay the
interest on the mortgage on
you. And what do you care
about the mortgage? Not a
damn! You ornery cuss! I
even have to do the worrying
about the mortgages on
your tough, ungrateful hide.

tion Day. for I can vote and
you can't. And after election
I realize that I was fully as
great a jackass as your papa.
Verily, I am prone to wonder
if politics were made for
men or jackasses, or to make
jackasses out of men.
" "And that ain't all. Bill.
When you're dead that's supposed
to be the end of you.
But me? The parson tells me
that when I die I may go to
hell forever. That is. Bill, if
I don't do just as he says.
And most of what he says
keeps me from getting any
kick out of life.

these things, how
can you keep a straight face
