so father said to
Beanys father to hich up his horse and we wood go down and see if we
had lied to him and he said if i had lied to him he wood give me the
wirst licking i ever had. well jest as we were going to get in the wagon
the man whitch had the tin pail and the stool in his hand come driving
up and said we had been pluging roten eggs at his barn and father said
he wood be cussed if he ever saw such boys, and me and Beany said we
dident mean to hit the barn but we pluged at the cat and dident hit her.
then the other men told him about the horse and cows and he said it was
only roten eggs and then they felt beter, and they said they was willing
to let us of with a good licking, but father said he woodent lick me for
ennybody else, but he wood pay them for their truble and they said they
wood settle for fifty cents each and i had to pay it out of my cornet
money. i only had one dollar and 30 cents but Aunt Sarah give me 20
cents. i beleive i had rather got a licking for it will take me 6 weaks
to ern so much money and i wood have got over a licking as soon as i
got to sleep. then father sent me to bed. i wonder if Beanys father
licked him. i shall know tomorow.
