The farmer takes a shortcut through his orchard to a nearby pond, carrying a bucket to bring back some fruit. Once he gets to the pond, he sees two girls skinny-dipping. They see him and immediately drop below the water. “We’re not coming out until you leave!” shouts one of the girls.
“I didn’t come to watch you swim naked,” says the farmer, holding up the bucket. “I’m just here to feed the gators.”

Yeah, the farmer’s “rustic wit” gives the story a very special flavor and makes it worth savoring.
One of my colleagues forwarded it to me. I think it was first published on Reader’s Digest.
skinny-dipping....good word, very vivid.
