The Farmer's Hand

 

 


A farmer and his recently hired hand were eating an early
breakfast of biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, bacon and
coffee that the farmer's wife had prepared for them.
Thinking of all the work they had to get done that day,
the farmer told the hired man he might as well go ahead
and eat his dinner too.

The hired man didn't say a word, but filled his plate a
second time and proceeded to eat.

After awhile the farmer said, "We've got so much work to do
today, you might as well eat your supper now too."

Again, the hired man didn't respond but refilled his plate
a third time and continued to eat.

Finally, after eating his third plate of food, the hired man
pushed back his chair & began to take off his shoes.

"What are you doing?" the farmer asked.

The hired man replied, "I don't work after supper."
