Their Eyes Were Watching God: Entry 16

Quote:
"...Since you own up you ain't smart enough tuh find out whut Ah'm talkin' 'bout, Ah'll tell you. Whut is it dat keeps uh man from gettin' burnt on uh red-hot stove---caution or nature?" "...It's nature dat keeps uh man off of uh red-hot stove." "Uuh huuh! Ah knowed you would going tuh crawl up in dat holler!...'Tain't no nature at all, it's caution, Sam."

Pg. 64
