Oh, opie, do you have to draw on everything?

Now, remember, first you eat the sandwich

and you eat the apple pie

not the apple pie and then the sandwich.

You understand?

Yeah, I understand

even if it don't seem right.

Why doesn't it seem right?

Well, if you get full before you finish

I'd sure rather leave over the sandwich than the pie.

That's exactly why I want you to do it the other way

and don't you forget it.

Okay, aunt bee.

Can I have my nickel for milk?

Mm-hmm.

Now, remember

this is for milk

not another piece of apple pie.

You ne that milk to make your bones hard.

Yes, ma'am.

Now, good-bye, now.

Bye, aunt bee.

Now, remember

the sandwich first and then the apple pie?

Yes, ma'am.

Good.

Paw?

Hmm?

Yeah, son?

Could I have a nickel for milk?

Well, yeah, I guess so

if I can get a hold of one here.

Here. There you are.

Thanks, paw.

Okay. Be a good boy, now.

I will.

And show the teacher you got some smarts.

Okay.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye, son.

That boy... I declare

he's got the sweetest tooth I ever saw.

You know, if he had his way

what he'd want for lunch?

Two slices of apple pie

between two pieces of apple pie

and a slab of apple pie for dessert.

Well, now, that's not surprising, aunt bee

considering the green thumb

you got for apple pies.

Nonsense. He's just apple pie crazy.

You know, when I gave him his nickel for milk

I had to remind him it was for milk

not another piece of apple pie.

Oh, there's another piece left

if you'd like it.

Of course, it didn't turn out quite right

this time, did it?

Mm?

A little too much cinnamon

well, I'd say there maybe was

just the least little bit

of too much cinnamon, yeah.

Oh

well, maybe your apples was too ripe.

Andy Taylor, that was one

of the best apple pies I ever made!

Well, now, I'll tell ya, since it was so bad

maybe we better eat it up

and get it out of the way

so we'll make way for another pie.

Aunt bee, you're buried in this world.

You have to have a little bragging, don't you?

Oh, Andy, stop it.

Here we are.

One piece left.

I'd better get a plate.

What is it, you're a little flustered?

Oh, stop it.

Here we are.

Wonder why he wanted two nickels.

Mm?

Opie. You say you give him a nickel for milk?

Yes.

Huh. He asked me for a nickel, too.

He did?

Yeah.

Why do you suppose he did that?

Mighty good question, aunt bee.

I'll have to see

if I can't get us a mighty good answer.

Hi, opie.

Hi.

Sheldon?

Yeah?

You wouldn't like to sort of let me

pass by your street for free, would ya?

Why should I?

Well, then I could give paw back

the nickel I sort of owe him.

Who's stopping ya?

Well, if I give him back his nickel

and I have to give you a nickel

for passing by your street

I ain't gonna have no nickel for milk

and boy, Sheldon, it ain't easy getting

a peanut butter and jelly sandwich down dry.

Yesterday, I almost choked.

Drink water.

But if I don't drink milk, I'll get soft bones.

I sure would like to give paw back his nickel, Sheldon.

What if I say I won't give you the nickel?

A knuckle sandwich.

Yeah.

You want to try it?

No.

You know what I'll do to you if you tell anyone.

Uh-huh. You'll pulverize me

then you'll knock my block off

then you'll give me the old one-two

then you'll jump on me.

See ya tomorrow, Opie.

Howdy, son.

Hi, paw.

Said your prayers?

Yes, sir.

Good.

Thought maybe you and me might have us a little talk.

Oh.

What about?

Mm... first one thing, then another.

I don't know much about them subjects.

Well, suppose we talk

about something you do know about, then

like, for instance, uh

asking me for a nickel for milk this morning

right after aunt bee already give you a nickel.

Oh.

What about it?

Well, I figured that way

if I lost one nickel

I'd still have one left for milk.

Oh, I see.

You wouldn't want my bones to get soft, would ya?

Course not.

But, uh...

What made you think you might lose one?

Oh, you know how careless seven-year-old boys are.

You know what aunt bee says.

If our heads wasn't fastened to our shoulders

we'd lose 'em.

Yeah, I guess that's right.

Did you, uh... Did you lose one?

Sorta.

Sorta? How can you sorta lose a nickel?

Well, first you got it, then you ain't.

Well, why?

I...

I sure am sleepy, paw.

Fine, fine.

Tell me now how you sorta lost that nickel

and you can quiet up and go right to sleep.

Golly, paw.

A growing boy's got to have his sleep.

Opie...

I must be growing awful fast.

I can't hardly keep my eyes open.

Opie...

Ope...

Night, son.

Maybe he did lose the nickel, Andy.

You know how careless seven-year-old boys are.

Course I know.

Opie told me.

Only how'd he know he was gonna lose it?

Well, maybe he had one of them, uh...

You know, those flashes

where you know what's gonna happen before it happens.

Premonition?

Yeah, that's it. Premonition.

I don't think so.

Yeah?

Well... me neither.

Mm

So what'd you mention it for?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe I figured

I could convince myself, too.

Barney, what are you getting at?

Well, I wasn't going to say nothing

but I guess I better.

He stopped in here this morning

before you got here.

Opie did?

Yeah. Wanted to know did I have a nickel

I wasn't using.
