Simply Hiking!

A father came home from a long business trip to find his son riding a fancy new bike.

"Where did you get the money for that?" he asked. "It must've cost $300!"

"I earned it hiking," replied the boy.

"Come on, son, tell me the truth. Nobody gets that sort of money by hiking. Where did you really get the cash?"

"It's like I say, Dad. Every night you were gone, Mr. Jones from the bank would come over and see Mom. He'd give me a 20-dollar bill and tell me to take a hike."
