SLEEPS NAKED "Late again," the third-grade teacher said to little Sammy. "It ain't my fault this time, Miss Crabtree. You can Blame this'un on my Daddy.

Despite her mounting fears, she Asked little Sammy what he meant by that. Full of grins and mischief, and in the flower of his Youth, little Sammy and trouble were old friends, but He always told her the truth.

Last Night, when Daddy heard a noise out in the chicken Pen, he grabbed
his shot gun and said to Ma, "That Coyote's' back again, I'm a gonna git him!'' "Stay back, he whispered to all us kids!" "He was naked as a jaybird, no boots, no pants, no Shirt! To the hen house he crawled, just like an Injun On the snoop. Then, he stuck that double barreled 12 Gauge shot gun through the window of the coop." "As he stared into the darkness, WI th coyotes on his Mind, our old hound dog, Zeke, had done woke up and Comes sneaking' up behind Daddy. Then, as we all Looked on, plumb helpless, old Zeke stuck his cold Nose in Daddy's crack!" "Miss Crabtree, we all been cleanin' chickens since Three o'clock this mornin'!"
