"Abe" Like His Father |
|
"Abe" Lincoln's father was never at loss for an answer. An old neighbor of Thomas Lincoln--"Abe's" father--was passing the Lincoln farm one day, when he saw "Abe's" father grubbing up some hazelnut bushes, and said to him: "Why, Grandpap, I thought you wanted to sell your farm?"
"And so I do," he replied, "but I ain't goin' to let my farm know it."
"'Abe's' jes' like his father," the old ones would say.
(from Lincoln's Yarns and Stories , by Colonel Alexander K. McClure)
