A young boy living on a farm comes down to breakfast. His mother asks if he had done his chores. "Not yet," said the lad. His mother tells him he can't have any breakfast until he does his jobs. Well, he's in a childish strop, so as he goes to feed the chickens, he kicks a chicken. He goes to feed the cows, and he kicks a cow. He goes to feed the pigs, and he kicks a pig.
He goes back in for breakfast and his mother gives him a bowl of dry cereal. "Oh no don't I get any eggs and bacon? Why don't I have any milk in my cereal?" he moodily complains.
"Well," his mother says, "As I saw you kick a chicken, so you don't get any eggs. I saw you kick the pig, so you don't get any bacon, for a full week either. You also kicked the cow, so, for seven days forget milk."
Just then, after a bad early morning his father grumpily comes in for breakfast and kicks the cat as he strides into the kitchen. The little boy looks up at his mother with a cheeky smile, and says, "Are you going to tell him, or should I?"
