I want to see your father

Little Cora Mae answered the knock on the door of the farmhouse outside Huntsville. The caller asked to see her father.

"If yew've cum about the bull," she said, "he's fifty dollars. We got the papers an' everythin', and he's guaranteed."

"Young lady," said the man, "I want to see your father."

"If'n that's too much," said Cora Mae, "we got another bull for twenty-five dollars, and he's guaranteed, too. But he don't have papers."

"Look here!" repeated the man. "I want to see your father!"

"If'n that's too much," said the girl, "we got another bull for only ten dollars but he ain't guaranteed."

"I'm not here for a bull," said the man angrily. "I want to talk to your father about your brother, Clovis. He's gotten my daughter into trouble!"

"Oh, I am sorry," said Cora Mae. "You do gotta see Pa 'bout that, 'cause I dunno what he charges for Clovis."
