Squire Root bought a cord o' wood yest'day an' sez thet if they keep on cuttin' it shorter, they'll make both ends meet by spring. Humpty Dumpty's fall frum th' wall wusn't nothin' like th' fall some fellars got from Wall Street, aez Alex Bitts. Translation for city slickers (non-hill people): Squire Root bought a cord of wood yesterday and said that if they keep cutting it shorter, they'll make both ends meet by spring. Humpty Dumpty's fall from the wall was nothing like the fall some fellows got from Wall Street, said Alex Bitts. |
