The Challenge of a Big Tree
Billy
I couldn't come home, mama. My dogs had a coon up this tree.
Grandpa
Well, he sure picked a big sycamore.
Billy
Biggest one in the whole river bottom.
Grandpa
That's all right. The bigger they come, the harder they fall.
Father
Well, there's no sense chopping down a tree like this, just for one coon. Come on, Billy, we gotta go.
Billy
I can't, papa.
Father
Why not?
Billy
I made a bargain with my dogs. I told them if they'd put one up a tree, I'd do the rest. They did their part, it's up to me to do mine.
Mother
Well you're quitting, and that's that, so come on. Let's go. Billy, do I have to whip you on top of all the punishment you already brought on yourself? Do I?
Billy
Yes, ma'am.
Father
A man can't keep his word, Jenny, he's not much good. Especially to himself.
Grandpa
I say amen to that, Jenny.
