An older horse name Bill Gates took a stroll through the fields near a place called Rodney, Ontario.  

Bill was a new arrival to the farm; it was his retirement package from hauling alcohol wagons.    When first he entered the fields, he was met by 3 not so polite Huskies, who teased him about his branding  

“1993….” they snickered  then barked in unison “What is that your age old man?”

With his head hung low he wandered down the path until he came across a young rat who was counting the number of daisies he could see “2006, 2007, 2008…..” 

“Hello there, I am Bill” the horse neighed to the little fellow

“Hey there, I am Charles, Charles Babbage but most just call me Chucky.  You are new here. How are you liking this place?” the young rat squeaked and scurried between Bill’s legs.

“It’s not a bad place but it seems like it 30,000 miles away from where I came from.”

“Where are you from?” Chucky looked up at Bill genuinely curious.  

“A small town called Petrolia, Ontario..” Bill spoke with a longing to return home.

Chucky started to laugh as Bill became self conscious of another joke at his expense.  Just then the young rat broke his self pity.  “Oh what a small world, you must have been in the trailer, I hitched a ride on. I am from there too.”  The two became great friends and were know as The Odd Couple on the farm.
