A Good Deed

Several weeks ago we were out for a walk when we noticed a television hidden about 20 feet off the road on National Forest land.  Case climbed back there.  Not one but THREE televisions.  We mentioned this to one neighbor.  "Oh, yes." they replied.  "We knew they were there."  When resorts would dismantle years ago, they would fly dump TV's so they wouldn't have to pay to dispose of them.  Well, what the heck!  Why hasn't anyone done anything about it?  I called the township chair for waste disposal and explained the situation.  He said that we could bring in the TV's at no charge since we found them along the road.  One day when I was at work Case took the truck and was loading up the TV's when a different neighbor came by and stopped to help carry.  Yes, he knew they were there, too.  When that neighbor got home, he called the first neighbor to say what Case had done.  That afternoon the first neighbor who originally knew about the TV's brought over a triple chocolate cake for Case to thank him for doing something about getting rid of the eyesores.  I guess the guilt about not doing anything about the televisions got the best of her.  As Case was thoroughly enjoying his first slice, he looked up briefly to say, "I'm going out to look for more TV's."
