A young man wearing a captain's hat, steps into view carrying a bail of hay in each hand ---the twine taut between straining fingers at the end of down-stretched arms.

Stephen playfully interrupts, "Now don't tell me …you look to be the age of Dave and Sherry's boy.  You must be Jonah Stage."                                                   

The young man answers with his back turned, as he carries the bails of hay into an adjacent stall, "No, you've got my age figured fairly well, but Jonah is a year older than me."  

Stephen steps over to the stall and leans on the rail, "Okay, now I've got it ...Ray and Claudia Isaac were due to have a child in late fall, of 2008. They didn't know whether they'd have a boy or girl, but you must be that blessed son."  

Stephen extends a hand, "Glad to meet you, Sir, I'm Shannon's Dad, Stephen Razohn." 

The young man extends his hand and shakes hands, "I'm Samuel Isaac." 

Stephen smiles, "Well, I'll have to tell Ray and Claudia what a fine young man they have, next time I see them.  Last time I saw your folks, your mom was beginning to show you quite well, at 7 to 8 months.  It's a pleasure now, to meet you officially."     

     Samuel declares, "I don't mean to confuse you, but I'm not Ray and Claudia's son ...my middle name is Isaac, not my last name.  But Ray and Claudia did have a boy ---and he is a fine young man, as well as a friend of mine.   His name is Aidin Isaac." 

     Stephen smiles, "This is interesting.   Now let me see, if I have your  age right, and you're not Ray and Claudia's boy---"
