[00:26.24]"I went out one day and there was a big flock 2 of ducks out on Tupper Lake.

[00:37.66]She was heavy with pups at the time,

[00:40.97]and I didn't know whether I should send her out there.

[00:45.40]It was a cold day in the fall. Well, she took right off and away she went.

[00:52.60]But she didn't show up when it got dark. I began to worry about her.

[00:58.68]She was a good dog, a really good retriever. She'd get anything I shot at.

[01:05.56]So the next morning I woke up and I thought I'd better go see if I could find her.

[01:12.68]And I got down to the shoreline of the lake and I looked out.

[01:18.26]Suddenly I saw something coming. It was this dog, she came into the shore!

[01:26.33]She had three ducks in her mouth. And behind her she had seven pups.

[01:33.85]And each of the pups had a duck in his mouth."

[03:14.94]and I've roasted two ducks and left them there for him in the other room.

[03:22.28]Don't you touch them." The daughter said,"No, I won't touch them."

[05:04.34]And the Reverend said, "What is that you say, daughter?" The girl said,

[05:13.45]"Yes, Papa invites preachers here all the time and cuts off both their ears."

[05:23.39]The preacher said, "Daughter, hand me my hat, quick!"

[05:29.83]The girl gave him his hat and he ran out of the door quickly.

[05:37.25]The daughter called her Papa and said,

[05:42.00]"Papa, the preacher got both of the ducks and has gone."

[05:49.31]The old man ran to the door and yelled 3 to the preacher,

[05:56.22]"Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?

[06:02.30]Come back here right now!"

[06:07.02]But the preacher just kept running and shouted back over his shoulder,
