"Late again!" the third-grade teacher sternly said to little Johnny.
"It ain't my fault this time, Miss Russell. You can blame this 'un on my Daddy. The reason I'm so late is ‘cause my Daddy sleeps naked!"
Despite her mounting fears, Miss Russell asked little Johnny what he meant by that. Little Johnny and trouble were old friends, but he always told her the truth.
"You see, Miss Russell, out at the farm we got this here low down fox. The last few nights, he done ate six hens. Last night, when Daddy heard a noise out in the chicken pen, he grabbed his double-barrel shotgun and said to my Ma, "That fox is back again... I'm a gonna get him!'' He whispered "Stay back and be quiet!" to all us kids.
"My Daddy was naked as a jaybird - no boots, no pants, no shirt! He crawled to the hen house, then he stuck shotgun through the window of the coop. As Daddy stared into the darkness, with a fox on his mind, our old hound dog, Rip woke up and snuck up behind him. Then, as we all looked on plumb helpless, Rip stuck his cold nose in my Daddy's crack!" … "Miss Russell, we all been cleanin' chickens since three o'clock this mornin’!"
