A New Dawn Rises...

"A New Dawn Rises..."*

*"How'd it happen?" the doctor asked the
middle-aged farmhand as he set the man's broken leg.

"Well, doc, 25 years ago ..."

"Never mind the past. Tell me how you broke your leg this morning."

"Like I was saying...
25 years ago, when I first started working on the farm, that night, right
after I'd gone to bed, the farmer's beautiful daughter came into my
room. She asked me
if there was anything I wanted. I said, "No, everything is fine."

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"I'm sure," I said.

"Isn't there anything I can do for you?" she wanted to know.

"I reckon not," I replied.

"Excuse me," said the doctor, "What does this story have to do with your
leg?"

"Well, this morning," the farmhand explained,
"When it dawned on me what she meant, I fell off the roof!"
