Not Tied.

A small boy of Columbus was out riding with his mother one day recently, when he saw several pumpkins in a field. He wished to stop the machine and get one, but the mother explained that this would not do, that the pumpkins on the vine were the property of the man who owned the field, and that in due time he would gather them for winter use. The boy was convinced, and said no more until he happened to see a pumpkin unattached to a vine, lying at the side of the road. “Well, mother,” he said, "I guess we can have that one. It isn’t tied.” —Indianapolis News.
