笑话习题簿11.9
NOTE:
A clergyman walking down a country lane and sees a young farmer struggling to load hay back onto a cart after it had fallen off.
"You look hot, my son," said the cleric. "why dont you rest a moment, and Ill give you a hand.""No thanks," said the young man."My father wouldnt like it."
"Dont be silly," the minister said."Everyone is entitled to a break. Come and have a drink of water."Again the young man protested that his father would be upset.
Losing his patience, the clergyman said, "Your father must be a real slave driver. Tell me where I can find him and Ill give him a piece of my mind!"
"Well," replied the young farmer, "he is under the load of hay."
