said, Boss, I'll let you know in few

it." The man paid for it, and Henry
carved it up and ate it all. Then the
man said, Henry, where did you go
when you went out of the store?" He
said, well, boss, I've got little home
over here, and garden, and water
melon in it just as big as this one that
lay on the floor, and went over there
and ate that watermelon to make sure

Now gentlemen said Mr.. Morey,
