     Thars somethin' good 'bout ever'buddy no matter how bad. Reek Kressy sez thars some white in every egg.



Translation for city slickers (non-hill people):

     It appears to me that some people's compliments are just like paper flowers, they're pretty, but false.
     There's something good about everybody, no matter how bad. Reek Kressy said, there is some white in every egg.
