CITY BOY IN THE COUNTRY
A BOY FROM THE CITY COMES TO VISIT HIS COUSIN IN THE
COUNTRY. THE COUNTRY BOY SAYS, "LET'S GO EAT SOME
PERSIMMONS." SO THE TWO BOYS GO DOWN TO THE PERSIMMON
TREE. THE COUNTRY BOY CLIMBS UP THE TREE TO GET THE
RIPE ONES, BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT THE GREEN PERSIMMONS
WILL MAKE A PERSON PUCKER UP SO BAD, THAT HE WON'T BE
ABLE TO TALK FOR A LITTLE WHILE. THE CITY BOY DOESN'T
KNOW THIS AND WHILE HIS COUSIN IS UP IN THE TREE, HE
GRABS A GREEN PERSIMMON AND EATS IT. THEN IT HAPPENS:
CITY BOY: HE(Y?) COUSIN.
COUNTRY BOY: WHAT?
CITY BOY: COME DOWN HERE QUICK!
COUNTRY BOY: WHAT FOR?
CITY BOY: I'M CLOSING UP FAST.
