The sly fox knows many little tricks

When he was little my brothers friend told him that he knew where they could get some sweet plums fresh off the tree, they were in an neighbors yard. The old lady that lives there didn't care but they had to climb the fence to get them. My brother said that he thought that that didn't sound to good but the idea of getting some plums drowned out that noise so to the yard and over the fence they went they were so busy picking the sweet and juicy plums they didn't see the old lady and her grown son approach. She grabbed them and asked, what are you doing in my yard. My brother said he tried to explain to the lady how his friend told him it was okay by her.His friend told him that they had to climb the fence because the lady didn't want them walking through her house.The lady told her son to call the cops. He said the lady looked at them both when she said that they were going to go to jail then still staring at them she said I'm going to tell your mamas.She then turn to her son and and said you know what to do.She held on to my brother for a few minutes then let him. Go back over the fence the way you came she said.So back over the fence he went and home to mama waiting on the porch with a belt. The sly fox knows many littletricks but the hedgehog knows one big one
