A husband and wife were very happy over the nine pound baby boy that <>was born to them.<>
Mr. Brown who could not conceal his delight, called up the editor of <>a famous newspaper and reported that he had become the proud owner of <>a nine pound nugget of gold. <>
The editor upon hearing seemingly <>extraordinary news, sent his star reporter to interview Mr. Brown.<>
When the reporter came, Mr. Brown was away and his wife was alone at home….<>
Reporter:- Does Mr. Brown live here?<>
Mrs. Brown:- Oh! yes.<>
Reporter:- Is he in?<>
Mrs. Brown:- No, he went somewhere.<>
Reporter:- Is it true that he owns a nine pound nugget of gold?<>
Mrs. Brown:- (Realising the joke) Yes! Indeed.<>
Reporter:- Can I see the place where he found it?<>
Mrs. Brown:- I’m afraid not because Mr. Brown objects in as much as <>it is strictly private.<>
Reporter:- Is the place far?<>
Mrs. Brown:- No, it is quite near and convenient.<>
Reporter:- How many years has Mr. Brown been digging the hole?<>
Mrs. Brown:- Just about two years.<>
Reporter:- Is the hole deep?<>
Mrs. Brown:- Quite so…<>
Reporter:- At about what time does Mr. Brown start digging?<>
Mrs. Brown:- Oh, he does his digging mostly at night.<>
Reporter:- Does he work hard on it?<>
Mrs. Brown:- You bet….and how he perspires.<>
Reporter:- Is Mr. Brown the first to dig?<>
Mrs. Brown:- He thought he was….<>
Reporter:- How do you know there was someone ahead of him?<>
Mrs. Brown:- I’m in good position to say so, because I own the place.<>
Reporter:- Oh, I see, but did you sell the place to Mr. Brown?<>
Mrs. Brown:- No, but for the present he has the legal title to the site.<>
Reporter:- Has Mr. Brown any helper when he works?<>
Mrs. Brown:- Yes, I work under him….<>
Reporter:- Do you think Mr. Brown will sell the place?<>
Mrs. Brown:- I don’t think so because he enjoys working on it.<>
Reporter:- Can I see the nine pound nugget of gold?<>
Mrs. Brown:- Yes, certainly…<>
(She showed him the nine pound baby boy..)<>
The reporter fainted….<>
