An old lady, who was sitting on the porch of a hotel at Asheville, North
Carolina, where also there were a number of youngsters, was approached
by one of them with this query:
"Can you crack nuts?"
The old lady smiled and said: "No, my dear, I can't. I lost all my teeth
years ago."
"Then," said the boy, extending two hands full of walnuts, "please hold
these while I go and get some more."
