“Bigger Fish To Fry”

“In the country it is proper etiquette for the youngest in the pickup truck or car to get out and open and close the gate.  No young person, girl or boy, raised in the country, would ever think of sitting still as the vehicle approached a closed gate.  They would immediately hop out to undo the gate and then close it back.”

This passage appears in the chapter “Bigger Fish to Fry” in the book Ten was the Deal by John P. Faris, Jr. To read additional excerpts from John’s book collection, to include a complete chapter from this first book, click here.
