Drover's Secret Life. John R. Erickson

Чтение книги онлайн.

СКАЧАТЬ Pete said, by golly, it was OUR hole, and there it was for everyone to see, a living tribute to brave dogs and their flying machines.

      It sure made me proud, seeing that monument. I’d put a lot of myself into making that hole, but I couldn’t have done it without Pete’s help.

      But where was I? Oh, yeah, there’s something about Halloween that makes the weather turn cold. That’s when monsters come out, too—skeletons and witches and some guy in a helmet named Dark Vader. He wears a black cape and talks like he’s got a bad cold and he scares the bejeebers out of me. He comes to the ranch every Halloween.

      The first time he came to Loper and Sally May’s house, Hank made me go out and bark at him. I didn’t want to but I did, gave him one bark and ran like greased lightning to the machine shed.

      Hank got mad and called me a chicken liver but I didn’t care. Dark Vader came back the next year and I ran for the machine shed again, only this time I didn’t bark at him. He keeps coming back every year at Halloween, but we’ve kind of reached an understanding: I never bark at him and he never eats me. Whenever he comes to the ranch and gets out of the car, I go straight to the machine shed and stay there until he leaves. No muss, no fuss, no noise, no nothing.

      I don’t know why he keeps coming back on Halloween, but he never seems to do any harm. If he ever tried to hurt anyone or steal something, maybe I’d leave the machine shed and bark at him. Or maybe not. Probably not.

      I don’t remember what I was talking about when I started this chapter, but I think it’s time to start another one. You can’t stay in the same chapter forever. If you told your whole life’s story in one chapter, it might seem kind of boring.

      The next chapter is going to be exciting.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
