A minister walking down a country lane sees a young farmer struggling to load hay back onto a cart. The minister says to him, “You look hot, my son, rest a moment and let me give you a hand.”
“No thanks,” says the young man. “My father wouldn’t like it.”
“I’m sure he wouldn’t mind,” the minister said. “Everyone is entitled to a break. Come and have a drink of water.” Again, the young man said that his father would be upset.
Losing his patience, the minister said, “Your father must be a real slave driver. I’d like to give him a piece of my mind! Tell me, where can I find him?”
“Well,” replied the young farmer, “look down. He’s under a load of hay.”
