At the Top of the Hill
At the Top of the Hill.
A kind-hearted English vicar one day observed an old woman laboriously pushing a perambulator up a steep hill. He volunteered his assistance, and when they reached the top of the hill, said in answer to her thanks:
“Oh, it's nothing at all. I'm delighted to do it. But as a little reward, may I kiss the baby?”
‘Baby, Lor’ bless you, sir,” she returned, “it ain't no baby, it's the old man's beer.”
