Their Eyes Were Watching God: Entry 12

Quote:
"You'se uh stinkin' lie, Sam, and yo' feet ain't mates..." "Aw, man, 'tain't no use in you gittin' mad. Yuh know yuh don't feed de mule. How he gointuh git fat? "...Ah g-g-gived 'im uh full cup uh cawn every feedin'." "Lige knows all about dat cup uh cawn. He hid round yo' barn and watched yuh. 'Tain't no feed cup you measures dat cawn outa. It's uh tea cup."

Pg. 52

Comment:
This dialogue is funny to me. It's funny because this guy named Sam claims that he does feed his skinny mule with a cup of corn. Sam says that he does feed his mule. The accuser then says that another guy named Lige spied on Sam and saw him give the mule a tea cup of corn. Sam was caught lying.
