-
This is John and Mary's house.
-
It's beside the river.
-
One night, John says, "I'm going to go out and chop some wood."
-
"I'll make a bigger fire."
-
But Mary says, "John, don't go chop wood in the dark!"
-
"You'll drop some."
-
"Then when I get up to go the outhouse, I'll trip over it."
-
"I'll fall into the water."
-
"And I'll have to walk home soaking wet."
-
But John says, "Oh no, I'll be careful."
-
And he goes out and chops wood.
-
And on his way back in he drops a piece, on the path.
-
Later that night, Mary trips over a piece of wood in the dark.
-
And she falls in the water.
-
And she has to walk home soaking wet.
-
She comes in, and she's real mad.
-
She says, "If you hadn't have chopped that wood, I wouldn't have fallen in the water."
-
"And I wouldn't be standing here soaking wet!"
-
John looks at her and says, "Well, I don't see why you're mad…"
-
"If I hadn't (have) chopped the wood for you, you wouldn't have this nice big fire to warm up by."
