Watermelons

There was a farmer who raised watermelons. He was doing pretty well but he was disturbed by some local kids who would sneak into his watermelon patch at night and eat his watermelons

After some careful thought he comes up with a clever idea that he thinks will scare the kids away for sure So he makes up a sign and posts it in the field The next day the kids show up and they see this sign, which says,``Warning, one of the watermelons in this field has been injected with cyanide''

So the kids run off and make up their own sign, which they post next to the sign that the farmer made The farmer shows up the next day to look over his field He notices that no watermelons are missing but he notices a new sign next to his He drives over to the sign and takes a look

It says, ``Now there are two''.
