A young Scottish lad and lassie were sitting on a low stone wall, holding hands and gazing out at the Loch.
They sat in silence for several minutes before the girl looked at the boy.
“A penny for your thoughts, Angus,” she said.
“Well, I was thinking. Perhaps it’s about time for a wee kiss,” he replied.
The girl blushed but gave Angus a kiss on his cheek.
The two then turned back to the Loch and continued to sit in silence again.
“Another penny for your thoughts, Angus,” the girl said.
Angus thought for a moment or two and looked concerned.
“Well, my thoughts are a bit more serious this time,” he finally replied.
“Really?” the girl asked. “Why?”
“Do you think it’s about time you paid me that first penny?”
