Then, one day, farmer noticed that Mister was scratching and scratching himself crazy. Wondering what happened to his friend, he came to Mister and began looking through his thick, soft, fluffy white coat.
"Mister !" Farmer said. "You have ticks and fleas all over you ! What did you do ? What shall we do ?"
Remembering that his chickens liked to eat fleas and ticks, farmer joked to Mister. "Mister, what about getting the chickens to peck away all the fleas and ticks from you ?"
Mister, who had been laying on his side to let farmer look around his fur, raised his ears and looked toward farmer with a serious look. He didn't understand farmer was making a "silly" joke and didn't really mean what he said. Mister only Knows how to speak in Truth and when Mister says something he means it !
