A Boy and His Grandfather

A little boy and his grandfather are raking leaves in the yard. The little

boy finds an earthworm trying to get back into its hole. He says, "Grandpa,

I bet I can put that worm back in that hole."

The grandfather replies, "I'll bet you five dollars you can't. It's too

wiggly and limp to put back in that little hole."

The little boy runs into the house and comes back out with a can of hair

spray. He sprays the worm until it is straight and stiff as a board. Then

he puts the worm back into the hole.

The grandfather hands the little boy five dollars, grabs the hair spray, and

runs into the house. Thirty minutes later the grandfather comes back out and

hands the little boy another five dollars.

The little boy says, "Grandpa, you already gave me five dollars."

The grandfather replies, "I know. That's from your grandma."
