Freihofer's Fruit Cookies and the Schaghticoke Fair

Time was when you attended the Schaghticoke Fair and walked through the Freihofer Building, a person would be standing next to the old Freihofer wagon handing out free cookies, individually wrapped fruit cookies, really good with lots of juicy raisins. We walked through and we each took the offered cookies, all except Danny, who then didn't care for raisins. The next day, before we entered the building I told Danny to take a cookie anyway: I liked them. But when the Freihofer person asked Danny, "Would you like a cookie? " he declined, saying no, thank you. When we left the building, I asked him why he didn't take one, and he said that the man asked him if he liked the cookie, so he had to say no, he didn't. And that boy is just as honest to this very day....
