Test of Strength

BILL THE BRAGGER was at the county fair telling anyone who would
listen about his athletic prowess. No one would challenge him until
a stranger piped up. “I’ll wager you $50 I can push something in a
wheelbarrow for 20 yards and you won’t be able to wheel it back,”
the stranger said.

Bill looked at the skinny fellow and decided it wasn’t much of a
challenge. “I’ll take you on,” he replied. They borrowed a
wheelbarrow and took it to the starting point. “Let’s see what
you’re made of,” Bill taunted. “Okay,” the stranger answered matter-
of-factly. “Get in.”
