Part II--- Ole Wives Tales
Ya'll know the story.
All the women who helped make the blanket all be came pregnant
all except for the guy's wife who originally wish to be pregnant.
The guys father came to him and told him
he should look to the market for some financial stability
maybe that would calm her nerves against financial instability.
He looked to him and laughed.
Well March of the following year a fella came to
the guy needing help. He had sps ankle and his wheat
needed ah-thrashing: he was under contract
and the bread company in town needed the bread before
the first week in March in order to meet the easter flour season.
The fella told the guy he could stay at his place for three to four days
with his wife and they could do the work together. It was only five days of work but he needed the help to comply with his contract. He would pay the two
Twenty gold coins and when the money from the Wheat company came:
he would pay them a greater sum!
Well they made a deal and they were off to thrash the wheat. They finished the work in four days
working day and night. When they came back home they were tired and happy to be home.
They made a night of there first day home and went to sleep.
Weeks went by and in Mid March the guy with the broken ankle came by to pay them. He gave them the check and the golden coins. The wife offered him some tea, he accepted and she went in the kitchen to retrieve it. The fellas were talking when the woman called out to her husband.
She said she needed help and felt light headed.
they took the woman to the hospital and found she was pregnant.
They were so excited that they would be parents by Christmas!
When they got back people from all around
came by to wish them luck.
