snowyday Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 The young men of the family had moved the outhouse but did not have time to fill in the trench before dark. They warned everyone including grandpa but he forgot. He wandered out after dark, fell in the hole and couldn’t get out. He called for help, by yelling “Fire! Fire! Fire!†Grandsons rescued him but wanted to know why he had yelled “Fire!†Grandpa replied, “You came to help me when I yelled fire. Would you have come as fast if I had yelled what my real predicament was?†* * * * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
