Jarge and Aggie lived in the cove just past Lewiston Tickle up on the Peninsula. It was early winter and the bottom of the cove had frozen over.
Jarge asked Aggie if she would walk across the frozen part of the cove to the general store and get him some smokes.
She asked him for some money, but he told her, "Nah, just put it on our tab, ol? man Stacey won?t mind."
So Aggie walked across, got the smokes at the store and then walked back home across the cove.
When she got home and gave Jarge his smokes, she asked him, "Jarge, you always tells me tell me not to run up the tab at Stacey?s store. Why didn't you just give me some money?"
Jarge replied, "Well, Aggie, girl, I didn't want to send you out there with cash when I wasn?t sure how thick the ice was !?
Kind of brings a tear to yer eye, don?t it!
