No one in the town knew for sure why Old Man Harris was such a grouch. Even Mrs. Nedder, the town gossip, was clueless. Some said it was because he simply did not like people. Others swore that Old Man Harris was just born mean. Nobody had ever been able to prove any of the theories because everyone was afraid of Old Man Harris. So, naturally, no one ever asked him.
