"What in god's green earth?" Asked the woman after not getting an answer to her first question.

"My friends played a mean prank me!" said Sam.

"You city gals don't beat all," said the woman. She sized up Sam then laughed.

"It's not funny!"

"You ain't in no position to tell me that," said the woman. She put her hands on her hips. "Some sasssy city girl in diapers ain't got much room to tell me what's what."

"Are you going to help me or what?"

"I'm sorry, did you ask for my hep? Did I offer any?" The woman looked askance at Sam.

"Fine, will you please help me?"

"A bit sarcastic, twasn't that?"

"Ok, please, would you help me?" asked Sam with more sincerity.

"Fine, climb in the back."

"The back. Why can't I ride up front?"

"Got muh groceries in there, and besides, I don't much like your attitude. It's the truck bed or nuthin'. Take it or leave it, but there ain't much traffic on this road since they expanded the state highway."

"Fine, I'll get in the back." Sam climbed into the truck bed. It was dusty and full of empty cans and food wrappers.

The woman got back in the truck and drove off.

"Wait, where are we going?" thought Sam.
