An old man is sitting on a porch and sees a young boy walking by. The young boy is carrying something under one arm.
"What's that you got there boy?"
"Chicken wire, sir!"
"Where are ya going with that chicken wire boy?"
"I'm gonna catch me some chickens, sir!"
"Consarn it all boy you can't catch chickens with chicken wire! Haw haw haw!"
Yet that afternoon the old man sees the boy walk by with a dozen chickens!
The next day the man once again sees the boy walking by with something.
"Say there boy what've you got there today?"
"Duct tape mister! I'm going to catch me some ducks!"
"Ducks are hard to catch, boy! I don't think that's going to work!"
Yet that afternoon, when the boy walks by he has twenty ducks in a gunny sack.
The next day the boy walks along the street carrying something and the man calls out "What are you carrying today, boy?"
"Pussy willow, sir."
"Hold on boy let me get my hat, I'm coming with you today!"
