A good friends Grandfather told this story I thought I would relate to You folks (Yall).
Back during the depression Times were tough and He worked on a CCC project building a road in the northern part of Florida. Every day for weeks his wife sent him to work with a mustard green sandwich for lunch. (A mustard green sandwich is two pieces of cornbread with greens and some thin slices of turnip in between). When He just didn't think he could stand it anymore a new Guy showed up on the job carrying his lunch in a paper sack just like his and it looked heavy too.All morning long all he could think of was that bag. Well when it came time for lunch Grandad ran ahead of everyone else and switched bags then went and hid in a big culvert to eat. He opened the bag and to his surprise found 12 hickory nuts and a claw hammer. No matter how bad things are you don't have to look far to find someone that has it worse.
