Farmer

[+Gringo]

A farmer's young son comes into the kitchen ready for his breakfast.

His mother asks if he has done his chores.

"Not yet," said the little boy.

His mother tells him no breakfast until his chores are done.

Feeling a little annoyed, he goes to feed the chickens, and he kicks a chicken.

He goes to feed the cows, and he kicks a cow.

He goes to feed the pigs, and he kicks a pig.

He goes back in for breakfast and his mother gives him a bowl of dry cereal.

"How come I don't get any eggs and bacon? & why haven't I got milk in my cereals?

"Well," his mother says, "I saw you kick a chicken, so you don't get eggs for a week.

I saw you kick the pig, so you don't get any bacon for a week either.

I also saw you kick the cow, so you aren't getting any milk for a week."

Just then, his father comes down for breakfast and kicks the cat halfway across the kitchen.

The little boy looks up at his mother with a smile, and says

"Are you going to tell him, or should I?"
