How Grandpa made a good living
In the early days of the United States, when cars were still an oddity, highways were nonexistent. Pavement usually ended at the city limits,and drivers were on their own to find their way down rutted lanes and across open fields.
One day, a driver of one of the new gas buggies was making his way down a narrow lane and came to a large fence -to-fence mud hole. After some hesitation, he raced his motor and made a run at the puddle, hoping that his momentum would carry him to solid ground. Halfway across , his vehicle stalled and sank up to its running boards.As he sat deciding what to do, my Grandfather showed up driving a tractor. Grandpa yelled , "Hey, you wanna get pulled out? I'll do it for five dollars!" The driver thought that this was highway robbery, but having no choice, he responded, "Okay."Grandpa waded into the mud hole, hooked a chain
to the stalled vehicle, and pulled in onto solid ground. As the driver handed him the five-dollar-bill, he said, "It looks like you have found an easy way to make a living.
Grandpa replied, "Well, I wouldn't agree that it's easy. I have to haul the water for this water hole all the way from the river."
