This rat story involves my neighbor Lloyd ,he is a good farmer and breeder of Belgian draft horses ,he tends to drink a little to much . Other than that he is a fine friend and decent guy . I was down at his dairy barn one night and we were cleaning pens when Lloyd lifted a corner of manure out of stall a large rat appeared . Lloyd even though impaired cornered the rat with his pitch fork .It was like a trophy for him ,he puts on his work gloves and picks up the rat . He is now holding the squirming rodent in his left hand his son Scott now comes over to see his dads excitement . Lloyd asks me for my lighter ,Lloyd says if you set a rat on fire then blow out the flaming rat the rat will go back with other rats and they will leave the barn altogether cause fear of fire ! (sure) So Lloyd says ! I am looking kinda funny at him but its his place who am I to argue . I pass him the lighter he sets the rat on fire but in his drunken state drops the flaming rat . The rat is really on the move now running around the barn trailing smelly flaming smoke . The whole farm is now at battle stations , the hired men and Lloyd, Scot and myself are chasing the flaming rat > The rat makes a attempt at going up the ladder to the hay mow but Scot fires his pitch fork at said flaming rat and pins the rat to the ladder >Kyle the hired man has the fire extinguisher and saves the day .Mrs copey asks me how was my day at the dairy barn while I was waiTng for my supper I say typical ~ Copey
