Rising Water

The floods in Mississippi is all the talk of ever body you run into. And for good reason. Peoples is suffering like nobody's business. We is all been praying for these peoples and we has been gathering up clothes and stuff to send to them. A lot of us has give to the Red Cross.
I wanted to tell a little story about rising water what didn't hurt nobody and were over in less than a minute.
Me and a couple of my buddies was fishing a few years ago. We caught a few fishes, dressed 'em, and fried 'em up good. After we ate, we was was sitting around the campfire telling stories and such. All three of us happened to be looking at the river when all of a sudden it rose up almost a foot; I mean straight up. And then it went straight back down. Huh? We walked over to the river bank and couldn't see no sign of water on the sides. I told that story to a bunch of folks over the years and hardly nobody believed me. It's true though.
