Grandpa's Tip
A little boy
and his grandfather are raking leaves in the yard. The little boy finds an earthworm
trying to get back into its hole. He says,
“Grandpa, I bet I can put that worm back
in that hole.”
The grandfather replies,
“I'll bet
you five dollars you can't. It's too wiggly and limp to put back in that little
hole.”
The little boy runs into the house and comes back out with a can of hairspray. He sprays
the worm until it is straight and stiff as a board. Then he puts the worm back into the
hole. The grandfather hands the little boy five dollars, grabs the hairspray, and runs
into the house.
Thirty minutes later the grandfather comes back out and hands the little boy another five
dollars. The little boy says,
“Grandpa,
you already gave me five dollars.”
The grandfather replies,
“I know.
That's from your grandma.”
