Tired Son

A clergyman, walking down a country lane, saw a young farmer
struggling to load hay back onto a cart after it had fallen off.

"You look tired, my son," said the cleric. "Why don't you rest a
moment, and I'll give you a hand."

"No thanks," said the young man. "My father wouldn't approve."

"Don't be silly," the minister said. "Everyone is entitled to a
break. Come and have a drink of water."

Again the young man protested that his father would be upset.

Losing his patience just a little, the clergyman said, "Your father
must be a real slave driver. Tell me where I can find him and I'll
give him a piece of my mind!"

"Well," replied the young farmer, "you can tell him whatever you like
just as soon as I get this hay off him."
