Have you ever wondered where and how yodeling began? Here's the
>>real
>>version....
>>
>>
>>Many years ago a man was traveling through the mountains of
>>Switzerland.
>>Nightfall
>>was rapidly approaching and he had nowhere to sleep. He went up to
>>a
>>farmhouse
>>and asked the farmer if he could spend the night. The farmer told
>>him that
>>he could
>>sleep in the barn.
>>
>>As the story goes, the farmer's daughter asked her father, "Who is
>>that man
>>going into the barn?"
>>
>>"That fellow traveling through," said the farmer, "needs a place to
>>stay for
>>the night,
>>so, I told him he could sleep in the barn."
>>
>>The daughter said, "Perhaps he is hungry." So she prepared him a
>>plate of
>>food for
>>him and then took it out to the barn.
>>
>>About an hour later, the daughter returned. Her clothing disheveled
>>and
>>straw in her
>>hair. Straight up to bed she went.
>>
>>The farmer's wife was very observant. She then suggested that
>>perhaps the
>>man was thirsty. So she fetched a bottle of wine, took it out to
>>the barn,
>>and she too did not return for an hour. Her clothing was askew, her
>>blouse
>>buttoned incorrectly. She also headed straight to bed.
>>
>>The next morning at sunrise the man in the barn got up and
>>continued on his
>>journey,
>>waving to the farmer as he left.
>>
>>When the daughter awoke and learned that the visitor was gone, she
>>broke
>>into tears. "How could he leave without even saying good-bye," she
>>cried.
>>"We made such passionate love last night!"
>>
>>"What?" shouted the father as he angrily ran out of the house
>>looking for
>>the man, who by now was halfway up the mountain. The farmer
>>screamed up at
>>him, "I'm going to get you! You had sex with my daughter!"
>>
>>The man looked back down from the mountainside, cupped his hand
>>next to his
>>mouth,
>>and yelled out.....
>>
>>
>>"LAIDTHEOLADEETOO!!"
