Packrat Pete
the homesteader was hunting. He
had his chair turned so he could
look out the window; he had his
I gun across his lap and he was
I watching Mabel clean house.
(As he moved his foot for her
to sweep he decided to make her
| life easier by telling her a joke
and he said, “Do you know what
happened to the lightning bug
when he backed into a fan?”
And since Mabel only bumped
his other foot with the broom
and gave him a dirty look, Pack
rat answered his own joke, “Why,
he was de-Iighted.”
Mabel couldn’t help but grin,
and she said, “I know some others
that are delighted too and that’s
the customers down at Kenai
Korners L. and H.”
