This all happened in the late afternoon, so late that the merchant in Cranberry who had ordered the wheat didn't count his bags until the next morning. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN THE LATE AFTERNOON SO LATE THAT THE MERCHANT IN CRANBERRY WHO HAD ORDERED THE WHEAT DIDN'T COUNT HIS BAGS UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING
 they caught him, so he looked in his knapsack and took out a rubber band and the empty grain bag with the label saying "Cranberry." At the last moment my father got inside the bag, knapsack and all, folded the top of the bag inside, and put the rubber band around the top. He didn't look just exactly like the other bags but it was the best he could do. [Illustration] Soon the sailors came to unload. They lowered a big net into the hold and began moving the bags of wheat. Suddenly one sailor yelled, "Great Scott! This is the queerest bag of wheat I've ever seen! It's all lumpy-like, but the label says it's to go to Cranberry." The other sailors looked at the bag too, and my father, who was in the bag, of course, tried even harder to look like a bag of wheat. Then another sailor felt the bag and he just happened to get hold of my father's elbow. "I know what this is," he said. "This is a bag of dried corn on the cob," and he dumped my father into the big net along with the bags of wheat. E WHEAT THERE MY FATHER KNEW THAT THE SAILORS WOULD SEND HIM HOME IF THEY CAUGHT HIM SO HE LOOKED IN HIS KNAPSACK AND TOOK OUT A RUBBER BAND AND THE EMPTY GRAIN BAG WITH THE LABEL SAYING CRANBERRY AT THE LAST MOMENT MY FATHER GOT INSIDE THE BAG KNAPSACK AND ALL FOLDED THE TOP OF THE BAG INSIDE AND PUT THE WRAPPER BAND AROUND THE TOP HE DIDN'T LOOK JUST EXACTLY LIKE THE OTHER BAGS BUT IT WAS THE BEST HE COULD DO SOON THE SAILORS CAME TO UNLOAD THEY LOWERED A BIG NET INTO THE HOLD AND BEGAN MOVING THE BAGS OF WHEAT SUDDENLY ONE SAILOR YELLED GREAT SCOTT THIS THE QUEEREST BAG WE'D HAVE EVER SEEN IT'S ALL LUMPY LIKE BUT THE LABEL SAYS IT'S GO TO CRANBERRY THE OTHER SAILORS LOOKED AT THE BAG TOO AND MY FATHER WHO WAS IN THE BAG OF COURSE TRIED EVEN HARDER TO LOOK LIKE A BAG OF WHEAT THEN THE OTHER SAILOR FELT THE BAG AND HE JUST HAPPENED TO GET HOLD OF MY FATHER'S ELBOW I KNOW THIS IS HE SAID IT'S A BAG OF DRIED CORN ON THE COB HE DUMB MY FATHER INTO THE BIG NET ALONG WITH THE BAGS OF WHEAT
