Farmer Dan got into his car, drove to the neighbouring farm and knocked at the door. A young boy, Eddie, aged about 10, opened the door.
"Is yer Dad home?" Dan demanded.
"No, sir, he ain't," Eddie replied. "He went into town."
"Well, then", inquired Dan, "Is yer Mum here?"
"No, sir, she ain't here neither. She went into town with Dad."
"How about your brother, is he here?"
"He went with Mum and Dad," explained Eddie patiently.
Farmer Dan stood there for a few seconds, shifting from one foot to the other and muttering to himself.
"Is there anything I can do for ya?" Eddie asked politely. "I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one. Or maybe I could take a message for Dad."
"Well, it's difficult," answered Dan uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter pregnant."
Eddie considered for a moment, "You would have to talk to Pa about that," he finally conceded. "If it helps you any, I know that Pa charges £600 for the bull and £60 for the hog, but I really don't know how much he gets for Howard."
