A clergyman walking down a country lane and sees a young farmer struggling to load hay back onto a wagon after it had fallen off.

"You look hot, my son," said the minister. "why don't you rest a moment, and I'll give you a hand."

"No thanks," said the young man. "My father wouldn't like it."

"Don't be silly," the Pastor said. "Everyone is entitled to a break. Come, sit down and have a drink of water."

Again the young man protested that his father would be upset. Losing his patience, the clergyman said, "Your father must be a real slave driver. Tell me where I can find him and I'll give him a piece of my mind for working you so hard!"

"Well," replied the young farmer, "he's under this load of hay."
