A strong young man at the construction site was bragging that 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."
