A lady entering a crowded train, requested a little boy if she might put his basket, which he had beside him, up in the rack so that she might sit there. He assented willingly.
A short time later the lady remarked, “Sonny, I’m afraid your pickles are leaking.”
Little boy, disgustedly, “Them ain’t pickles, lady, them’s puppies.”
