Cletus, Bo and Zeke were walking the fence line through the woods.
“I been thinkin’,” Cletus mumbled, “If I had a penny fer ever’ stone in this wall, I’d be a rich man”
“I reckon that’s true,” Bo agreed, “but, if I had a dollar fer ever’ item in the Sears Catalogue I’d be richer than you.”
“Shore you would be,” Zeke offered, spurring the other two to nod in agreement, “but if I had a nickel fer ever’ dime y’all two have, I’d have half yer money.”
“Ahhhh,” they all said in unison, then silently pondered that idea.

I loved the way this was constructed – the dialogue worked so well. I’ve heard the same intellectual standards with a few accents and I think you have caught it brilliantly. It is great to see you here, I hope you enjoy the challenge Lyssa M x
