Save a Tractor

I was at the auto recycle scrapyard picking up a piece for my truck. I saw her in the back lot in the crusher line to be shredded into millions of pieces for metal recycling.

It seemed like she was calling to me to rescue her from certain doom which was only minutes away. I hurried inside and asked how much to buy the old tractor that is about to get shredded.

I bought the old girl for a few hundred bucks and took her home. I put her in the front pasture and planted flowers around her. As I walked away I turned to her and said, “Enjoy Retirement”.
