A country girl was home from college for the Christmas holidays and the old folks were having a reception in her honor. During the event she brought out some of her new gowns to show to the guests. Picking up a beautiful silk creation she held it up before the admiring crowd.
"Isn't this perfectly gorgeous!" she exclaimed. "Just think, it came from a poor little insignificant worm!"
Her hard-working father looked a moment, then he turned and said: "Yes, darn it, an' I'm that worm!"
