On sunday after the service was over Pa invited the preacher to have dinner with them the following sunday without asking Ma first.All week Ma went on and on about having to put on a big spread for a one horse preacher.Sunday after church here comes the preacher in a fine new buggy pulled by apair of matched black horses.Little Billy was watching the old preacher tie the horses to the hitching rail."Are those two horses both yours,he ask?" "Yes they are replied the preacher."All during dinner Bllly watched the preacher.When dinner was over Billy ask,"are you sure both of those horses are yours"? "Yep they sure are son".After Pa and the preacher talked talked for an hour or so,the preacher was preparing to leave and Billy ran up to him and once again and ask,are you sure those are both your horses"? "Yes they are son,why do you keep asking"? Billy looked at Ma and said "see Ma,you were wrong you never had to put a spread on for a one horse preacher 'cause they're both his".
