the nearby farmhouse. The farmer comes out onto the front porch and says,
"You can spend the night in the barn, but stay away from my

later, the pilot passed over the farm and decided to land and pay a
visit. However, as he approached the house he saw a six-year-old boy
standing in the front yard with the object of his former passion. The
daughter, sensing his question said, "Yes, this is your
son."<br>

prayed about it, but in the end we thought it was better to have a
bastard in the family than a fighter pilot.”<br>
