One day, his oldest boy comes to him and pleads with
him that he is graduating from school and would really
like to get a car.

His father says, "Son, come with me."

He takes him to the barn and points to the farm tractor
and says, "That tractor is needed here on the farm and
I promise that as soon as it's paid for, we'll get you
a car."

The boy was not too happy but he did understand that
situation and said, "Okay, Dad."

A week later, his second son (10 years old) approaches
him wanting a new two-wheel bicycle.

Well, he gets the same excuse. "As soon as that tractor
is paid for . . "

Shortly, a few days later, son number 3, his youngest,
comes bugging him for a tricycle.

Again, ol' Dad gives him the lecture about the tractor
being paid for first.

While leaving the barn, the young boy, more than a
little disgusted with the whole thing, sees a rooster
mating with one of the hens and promptly goes over
and kicks the rooster smooth off the hen's back,
mumbling to himself the whole time.

His dad says, "Son, why on earth would you do
something like that? He didn't do anything to you to
deserve that!"

The little boy looks his Dad right square in the eye
and says, "Hey, nobody rides anything around here
until that damn tractor is paid for!"
