I wonder if you would mind if I get some milk from it?" The farmer chuckles to himself and says, "Sure, go ahead." Much to his surprise, the guy comes back with a pail full of milk, thanks the farmer, and drives off. The next week, the same guy pulls up to the farmer, rolls down his window and says, "I see you have some honeysuckle down the way, and I was wondering if I could get some honey to take home?" Once more the disbelieving farmer consents, "Sure 'nuff; take all you want!" After a while the guy comes back with a pail full of honey, thanks the farmer, and drives off. The next week, the same guy stops by the farmer's house. "Hello again!", he says, "I see you have some pussywillow over there and ..." "Just a minute", the farmer interrupts, "Let me get my coat!"
