"Hey boy, whatcha got there?"

One morning, an old man was tending the plants in his garden when a neighbour's son walk past carrying something bulky under his arm. The old man shouted "Hey boy, whatcha got there?" The boy replied "It's chicken wire." The old man asked "What you gonna do with that chicken wire, young fella?" The boy replied "I'm going to catch chickens." Old man laughed "You damn fool, you can't catch chickens with chicken wire!" The boy just smiled and walked on. That evening, the boy returned and, to the old man's surprise, he was dragging the chicken wire with half a dozen chickens in it. The next day, the old man was tending the plants in his garden when he saw the neighbour's son walk past carrying something in his hand. The old man shouted "Hey boy, whatcha got there?" The boy replied "It's duck tape" The old man asked "What you gonna do with that duck tape, young fella?" The boy replied "I'm going to catch ducks." The old man laughed "You damn fool, you can't catch ducks with duck tape!" The boy just smiled and walked on. That evening, the boy returned and, to the old man's surprise, he was dragging the duck tape with a half a dozen ducks caught in it. The next day, the old man was tending the plants in his garden when he saw the neighbour's son walk past carrying what looked like a stick with something fuzzy on the end. The old man shouted "Hey boy, whatcha got there?" The boy replied "It's a pussy willow." The old man shouted "Hold on, I'll get my hat."
