"How did it happen?"
the doctor asked the middle-aged farmhand as he setthe man's broken leg."
Well, doc, 25 years ago ..."
"Never mind the past.
Tell me how you broke your leg this morning."
"Like I was saying...25 years ago, when I first started working on thefarm, that night, right after I'd gone to bed, the farmer's beautifuldaughter came into my room.
She asked me if there was anything I wanted.I said no, everything is fine.
"Are you sure?"
, she asked.
"I'm sure,I said.
"Isn't there anything I can do for you?"
she wanted to know."
I reckon not" I replied ..."
Excuse me," said the doctor, "What does this story have to do with your leg?"
"Well, this morning," the farmhand explained, "when it dawned on me whatshe meant, I fell off the roof!"
