A Partridge and 51 Pear Trees

Sam was in his back yard admiring his pear tree (1) when his wife Sally walked out.

“I see your out her with your pear tree (2) again,” said Sally.

“Isn’t this pear tree (3) a beauty,” said Sam. “Why I bet it is the best pear tree (4) in the country. Wait no, the best pear tree (5) in the world. You certainly don’t see many pear trees (6) like this.”

“It’s a fine pear tree (7),” said Sally, as she walked back into the house.

Sally’s mother was sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee. “Let me guess, he was talking about his pear tree (8). That boy and his pear tree (9). I have never seen anyone so interested in a pear tree (10) as your husband. You would think he invented pear trees (11), I mean it’s a fine pear tree (12), but how much can you talk about pear trees (13).”

“He does love his pear tree (14),” Sally said.

Just than Sam walked in. “Hi mom, I was just out by my pear tree (15). You want to go outside and look at my pear tree (16). I think when the morning sun hits my pear tree (17), it makes the pear tree (18) look even better.”

“I’ve seen your pear tree (19), I don’t need to see your pear tree (20) again,” Sam’s mother-in-law replied.

“You should get a pear tree (21) yourself. I can help you pick out a pear tree (22) if you want. The key is to find a really nice pear tree (23). It will be hard to find a pear tree (24) as nice as the pear tree (25) I have. But if we take our time and look at a lot of pear trees (26) we can find the pear tree (27) that’s right for you.”

“No thanks, I don’t want a pear tree (28). I’m more of an apple tree kind of person. But if I ever need a pear tree (29), I know who the pear tree (30) expert is.”

“Ok, I guess pear trees (31) are not for everyone. I’m going to go outside and look at my pear tree (32). Are you sure you don’t want to take a quick look at my pear tree (33)?”

After Sam left, Sally’s mother said. “I know people who will chop that pear tree (34) down. Make pear tree (35) kindling.”

“He would go nuts if anything ever happened to that pear tree (36). All he ever does is talk about that pear tree (37). Is there such a thing as pear tree (38) addiction?” Sally asked.

Later that day Sam’s friend Joe stopped over with a six-pack of beer. Sam was out by the pear tree (39).

“Pear tree (40) is looking awful good,” Joe said.

“Thanks Joe, I was just trimming the pear tree (41) a little. The secret to a nice pear tree (42), is to always maintain your pear tree (43). The worst thing you can do to a pear tree (44) is not take care of it.”

“No one will ever accuse you of not taking care of your pear tree (45). Why that is probably the best cared for pear tree (46) around,” Joe said.

“Why thank you Joe, I do my best for this pear tree (47). I was just telling my wife how glad I was we had a pear tree (48). I don’t think I would want to live in a house with out a pear tree (49),” said Sam.

“Well, that pear tree (50) adds a lot to the property. Do you want a beer?”

Sally came home to find Sam and Joe drinking beer out by the pear tree (51).

“Hi guys, I stopped by the pet store and purchased a partridge (1),” Sally said.
