The strong young man at the construction site was bragging he
could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case
of making fun of Morris, one of the older workmen. After several
minutes, Morris had enough. "Why don't you put your money where
your mouth is?" he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can
haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you
won't be able to wheel back."
"You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "It's a bet !
....Let's see what you got."
Morris reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the
handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said, "All right.
Get in."
