:27:07
I don't know
where all this water comes from.
:27:10
You must have a lot of ditches up there.
:27:13
Of course, if you're taking
the history of Vernon...
:27:17
well, I can't tell you.
:27:19
All I can tell you about the river is...
:27:22
somebody told me
that boats used to come down here.
:27:24
And I says, "That river
must have been wider, you know. "
:27:28
The creek they call it.
:27:30
But they said no.
:27:31
So, I mean, freight boats
used to come down here.
:27:35
Justlike freight on the Mississippi River.
:27:43
But I don't know.
:27:45
I can't figure it out.
:27:49
Maybe they used big canoes.
:27:59
There's a big red wiggler.
:28:02
There's a wiggler
that they call the eel worm.
:28:06
And this orchard-worm wiggler.
:28:09
Then they got a big ring-neck wiggler.
:28:12
And then they got one
they call the night crawler.
:28:17
He weighslike that.
:28:20
I've got some of them
from up in Joplin, Missouri...
:28:23
and brought them down here.
They up there.
:28:26
I brought up down here and put them
in a little old bed I had yonder.
:28:30
And they all left.
:28:33
They crawI at night.
You can't keep them in a place.
:28:37
They stay around in the edge
of the swamp.
:28:41
Out there, there's a lot of muddy water.
:28:44
That reminds me of the story
about the two sailors.
:28:48
They were looking at the water
and one says:
:28:51
"It's a lot of water out there. "
:28:53
And the other guy says,
"Yeah, that's just the top of it. "
