One day Mogey and Smush were out for their morning stroll. They took a stroll every morning to ease the gastronomic pains they experienced as a result of eating so much pork. As they walked they came across an exceedingly large and hairy man running a carnival game along the country road. The game went like this: a contestant would try to use to raise a small metal ringer up to a bell at the top of a tower by hitting a lever with a novelty sized hammer.
It was rather a nice stand, only it was out on a country road so the carnival man hadn't gotten much business.
"Why do you keep your stand all the way out here instead of in the village?" Smush asked the man.
"Me stand don't like it in the village," the large man said, a tear springing unexpectedly to his eye. "Me stand 'ates the village. You know, people think this job is all about being a big tough chap, but you've also got to show your stand a little bit of tenderness..."
With that the man broke down crying. He hugged his hammer tighter and tighter and then began to lick the handle enthusiastically. Mogey and Smush backed away with extreme care.
