ep17 Stopping A Farm Auction

There's music in there! When the interborn is mine, And painted splashes in, On the mighty laughing sky! On our way, Some old-fashioned singing, And a bit of friendly visiting with some folks, That are just like your neighbors.

He like Jenkins' leader, the singing group, Besides being town-grosser and sheriff. He's also the fellow folks come to, And they need a bit of advice. Even the new school teacher, Marion Castle, has learned that already.

She has a problem she can't figure out an answer to. Oh, the first person she thinks of is Oli Lai. Yes, sir. I'm mighty pleased that you'd think to come to me, Marion, but I don't rightly know as if I can help you, none.

Well, I'm not asking this for myself, Mr. Jenkins. I just learned this afternoon of some folks who need help. So I hope that if you'd work with me, we might be able to do something for them.

Well, it won't hurt none to try. What's the difficulty? Well, this afternoon, after I dismissed class, I noticed that a Becky Ingalls was huddled in the corner crying. Well, that sweet little thing, what was the matter?

Oh, do you know her? Marion, you come from a big city. You'll soon learn that down our way, everybody knows everybody else. We're all neighbors. I think that's wonderful. Well, I talked with Becky and got her to stop crying long enough to tell me what was the matter. She says there's going to be an auction at a father's

farm this evening. Well, sure, I know that. We have them all the time around here when folks got some old farm equipment. They want to get rid of so they can buy some new. But the angles won't be buying any new farm equipment.
