Prize Pumpkin

                                                  (As related by Abe Crockett)

We ain’t a bit ambitious, an’ we don’t hunt paradise, but the county fair is over an’ we took the leadin’ prize. We took the prize on punkins, an’ we think we’re punkins some, an’ by way uv cellerbration we are makin’ matters hum. The Cook an’ Peary bizniz hez no interest fur us, fur The Hudson celler- bration we ain’t makin’ any fuss, but in town an’ country honors we hev certain got our share, fur we took the prize on punkins at the “Gungy County Fair”.
