A country boy lost his eye and his father whittled one for him out of wood. They lived in the woods and saw very few people. When the boy was 16 his parents insisted he go to the a dance especially for people with limitations. The boy didn’t want to go because he feared they would make fun of his wooden eye.
His parents convinced him it would be all right, so he went. The whole night he stayed in the shadows until at the very end he saw a girl in the corner who also hadn’t danced all night. He noticed her mouth ran from her nose to her сhin.
“Hmmmm. Certainly she won’t laugh at me.”
So he went over and asked if she would like to dance.
She shouted eagerly, “Would I! Would I!”
Shocked and hurt by her answer, the boy retaliated, “Harelip! Harelip!.”
