How Yodeling Began
>> Have you ever wondered where and how yodeling began?
>>
>> 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
>> the barn."
>>
>> The daughter said, "Perhaps he is hungry."
>>
>> So she prepared him a plate of food 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 goodbye," 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 mountain side, cupped his hand next
>> to his mouth,
>>
>> and yelled out.....
>>
