Hon. Bull spent 36 minutes making angry promenades up & down fence
talking oratory in cow language. Then he go back to where Hon. Lunch
was & spent rest of afternoon kicking it into river with horns.
Hon. Sky begin to rain & them (2) twins made it wetter by weeps. All
wish to go homewards, but that was umpossible, because Hon. Ottomobile
were in field next to where Hon. Bull were setting down.
At 7:26 p. m. time, Hon. Farmer come along with moustache under chin &
offer to coax off Bull, price $5.
“He are harmless,” interrogate Hon. Farmer.
“I know it,” report Hon. Snow. “He merely chased us to tell us so.”
We all got into car, pretty soonly, and start homewards amidst
considerable drips and shipwrecked feelings of stumach.
“Shakspeare never wrote nothing so tragic like to-day,” glub Hon. Snow.
“Dearie, when you see Nature, you must take him like he comes,”
snuggest Hon. Mrs.
“He’ll have to come to my house, next time I see him,” he dib.
When we arrive up to R. R. station, I was surprised: Hon. Snow stop
ottomobile.
“Togo,” he say so, “This are where you get off.”
“You wish me depart homeless?” I snagger.
“Since you are so smart at flagging bulls,” he resnort, “maybe you
can wave red rags at engineer and tell him take you some place where
picnics is unknown & brains unnecessary.”
Speaking thusly, Hon. Ottomobile depart away full of honks.
Hoping you are the same,
Yours truly,
_Hashimura Togo_.
