THE CRAZY BROTHERS

ON THE FARM IN DAYTON, OHIO I WAS CONSTANTLY WARNED TO STAY
AWAY FROM THE ADJACENT FARM IN WHICH LIVED TWO VERY STRANGE
BROTHERS. ALL THE NEIGHBLRS WERE WARY OF THE BROTHERS AND
THEIR INVENTIONS. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THEIR FIRST AIRPLANE FLEW
THAT THE WRIGHT BROTHERS WERE ACCEPTED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

Submitter comment: THIS IS A TRUE STORY AND WHEN MY GRANDMOTHER TELLS OF THE
WARNINGS THAT SHE GOT FROM HER MOTHER SHE LAUGHS WRYLY.
