THE DROUGHT

A farmer stands on his porch, looking at his fields. It’s dry – there hasn’t been rain for a months. A young comes and say “Pa, the corn, it’s all gone”. The older man stays calm and says “We’ll be alright.” His other son comes and says, “Pa, the animals. All the dead.” Again, the old man just says, “We’ll be alright.” He turns and goes to the kitchen and opens the fridge. The fridge has a lot of food...but there’s only one can of cola there – and it’s empty. The man says “We’re in big trouble.”
