  1. There was one time a man who hired a servant boy. He sent him out to mow hay and he went out himself. The boy put such an edge on the scythe the man said "that scythe would mow it self". At dinner time the man came out to call him to his dinner. He asked "have you much mowed" Sir, keep back boss you would not know when it would start"
