One day, a city boy was out in the country. A quick-witted country boy saw him, and decided to have some fun. The city boy saw the country boy kneeling on the ground, appearing to be picking up small objects. He went over to the country boy and asked him what he was doing. "Picking up smart seeds" replied the country boy.

"Oh, yeah? What do they do?" asked the city boy.

"Well, you eat these here seeds, and they make you smarter"

"Really?"

"Sure, here try some."

The country boy gave a handful to the city boy, who popped them all in his mouth.

"Yuck! These taste like chicken droppings!"

"See, you're getting smarter already."
