A country girl was home from college for the Christmas holidays and
the old folks were having a reception in her honor. During the event
she brought out some of her new gowns to show to the guests. Picking
up a beautiful silk creation she held it up before the admiring crowd.

‘Isn’t this perfectly gorgeous! she exclaimed. ‘Just think, it came
from a poor little insignificant worm!

Her hard-working father looked a moment, then he turned and said:
‘Yes, darn it, an’ I’m that worm!
