Season 2 / Episode 6: - The Chicken Thief

Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] When I look back on Walton’s Mountain, I remember that our parents, by word and by example, took some pains to teach us the practical lessons of life and its virtues. But, though I had been well taught, there came a time when I doubted my own honesty and questioned its true value.
