There was this young couple out for their Honeymoon when their car broke down. As night was beginning to fall they decided to try and find a spot for the night. Off in the distance they spotted a farm house and went to inquire about lodging for the evening.

Knocking on the door the couple was greeted by the elderly farmer and his wife. Both curious as to who it could be since they had not had visitors for a long time.

The couple explained their predicament and the old couple said they most certainly could spend the night with them. Unfortunately they only had the one bedroom but assured the couple that the barn was tight and had a loft of freshly mown hay to lie on.

The elderly couple asked if the youngsters were hungry but the newlyweds declined citing the need to get some "rest." With a wink the old farmer brought along some blankets and pillows to make the newly crowned Honeymoon Suite even more comfortable.

Early the next morning the farmer went out to do his morning chores and on the way back yelled up to the couple asking if they were hungry for some breakfast - his Mrs. was a very good cook - but the honeymooners declined saying, "We're living on the fruits of love!"

Smiling the farmer went back into the house. Later that afternoon as he was returning from the field he once again asked the couple if they would like to come in for some lunch - his Mrs. was a very good cook - but once again the couple declined saying, "No Thank You we're living on the fruits of love."

The old farmer smiled at the resilience of youth and after lunch once again returned to his work in the fields. Upon his return to the house he asked the couple again if they would like some dinner - his wife was a very good cook - and once again the couple declined saying, "Oh no - we're living on the fruits of love!"

The old farmer and his wife had a bit of a smile over this and went to bed thinking of the young couple so new to each other.

The next morning the old farmer went out to see if by now, and surely they would be, the couple was hungry. But once again he was greeted with the same thing - "We're living on the fruits of love."

This scenario was the same for the second entire day. That evening the farmer once again went out and asked the couple if they would like to come in for dinner and they once again replied that they were not hungry as they were still "living on the fruits of love!"

To which the farmer replied - "Well that's all well and good but I wish you would quit throwing the peelings out in the yard - they're killing the chickens!"
