Poor Larry had fallen on hard times. He lost his job at the fertilizer plant, his wife had left him, his unemployment assistance had run out, and he was evicted from his apartment. He packed what little he had in a knapsack, made a little sign that read “Will work for food” and set off down the road on foot.

Toward the middle of the day, he came to a farmhouse. He was getting very hungry, and so he knocked on the front door. A woman answered, and Larry explained his situation, how he could do most anything and how hungry he was.

At first the woman wanted nothing to do with Larry, but he persisted. Finally she asked “Can you paint?”

“Oh yes, ma'am,” Larry said, “ I sure can paint. I've done a lot of painting. Just let me show you.”

The woman relented, found a can of paint and a brush and said, “You go around back and paint the porch, and I'll fix you dinner.” Happily, Larry went to work.

About 40 minutes later, Larry appeared at the front door. “Are you finished so soon?” asked the woman.

“Oh yes, ma'am,” said Larry, “but I think you ought to know that's not a Porsche, it's a Volvo.”
