so we shook the eggs till by and by they was one
whitch ratled. then Beany choze to plug him and he let ding at him and
the egg hit him a paister rite in the side and broak and spatered him
all over with yellow, and he kicked up and ran away before i cood get a
nother egg. then we went on till we saw 2 cows and we shook the eggs
again till we got 2 whitch ratled and when we went by we stood up in the
wagon and let ding at the cows. i hit one rite in the frunt of her head
and the yellow ran down over her nose and Beany hit the other in the
side and then a man holered at us and we licked the horse and drove of
lively. then we saw a cat sitting in a barn door and we both let ding at
her but dident hit her and both eggs smached agenst the barn and the
cat ran into the barn and a man came out with a tin pail in his hand and
a little stool in the other and holered at us and we licked up the horse
again. after that we dident plug enny more for they was only 7 eggs left
and they only ratled a little. when we got home Beany let me out and i
told father about the eggs being roten, he was prety mad and said i had
aught to have shook them before i took them. he asked me what i did with
the roten eggs and i said i threw them away and jest then Mister Watson
Beanys father came over with Beany and 2 men and it was the same man
whose horse we pluged with roten eggs, and the man who holered at us
when we plugged the old cows. the man grabed me by the coller and told
father i was the wirst boy in the town and if father dident lick me out
of my skin he wood, and father said hold on there, they aint nobody
going to lick my boy unless he licks me ferst, and he walked up to the
man prety quick, and the man let go my coller and father said if they is
any licking to be done i can do all that is necesary, and the man said
we are going to have him arested, and father said what has he done and
the man said these two boys have been throwing rocks at my horse and
have cut a big gash in his side and he is all over blud, and the other
man said we had been pluging rocks at his cows and had cut one on the
head and one on the side well me and Beany said we only threw geese eggs
at them and the blud was the runny part of the eggs and we crossed our
throtes and hoped to die if it wasent so, and father said to the man did
you xamine the gash and he said he was so mad when he see the horse that
he hitched up the other horse and followed us and told his hired man to
look after the horse and brogt the other man to.
