First day we got settled, my daddy chose to take a look at the horses available and to show off our horses too. Same day a man from Missouri proposed a wager against one of my daddy's horses, and my daddy took it.
"Well, who's going to be your rider?" asked the man of my daddy.
My daddy looked at me. "This boy Paul here."
The man gave me a look-over and said, "He seems a bit mite to me."
My daddy nodded, as if he hadn't considered that. "Could be you're right. He sits a horse well, though."
"Well . . . it's your money," said the Missourian.
"That it is," agreed my daddy. He and the man shook hands and we prepared to race right then.
