Here is # 10 for you all!!
Afterbeing away on business for several weeks, a well-to-do man began the journey home. As he neared his farm, he met his steward on the raod.
"So, steward, what's new at home?"he asked.
"Sir, I'm afraid your dog has died," the steward replied.
"How could that happen? He was barely two years old."
"He gorged himself on burnt horseflesh,sir"
"Where did he find burnt horse flesh?"
"Sir, I'm sorry to say that all the horses died when the barn burned down."
"How did the barn burn down?"
"A spark from the house blew onto the barn roof. We were so busy trying to save the house we didn't notice that the barn caught fire until it was too late."
"My house burned diwn?" the man asked in horror.
"Yes sir. One of the candles set around the your wife's coffin was placed too close to the window curtains. The curtains caught fire, then the whole house went up in flames."
"My wife is dead?" Did you say my wife is dead?"
"She died of a seizure, sir. After your eldest daughter ran off with the hired man."
The man groaned and covered his face with his hands. When he regained his composer he said,"My wife is dead. My daughter's ran off. My house is gone. The barn is gone, My horses and even my dog are dead. Where am I to live with the other three children?"
The steward cleared his throat,
"I wouldn't worry about that, sir. They all perished in the house fire."
I hope you liked it!! Stay tuned for #11!!
