In the back woods of Arkansas, Mr. Stewarts wife went into labor in the middle of the night, and the doctor was called out to assist in the delivery.

To keep the nervous father-to-be busy, the doctor handed him a lantern and said, Here, you hold this high so I can see what Im doing.

Soon, a wee baby boy was brought into the world.

Whoa there Scotty! said the doctor. Dont be in a rush to put the lantern down… I think theres yet another wee one to come.

Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered another little baby.

No, no, dont be in a great hurry to be putting down that lantern, young man… It seems theres yet another one besides! cried the doctor.

The new father scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor: Do ya think its the light thats attractin them?
