Wade Explains Ranch Life: A Cowboys Lament (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780996833417)

Wade comes back to his home town after being away. He now has a special reason for returning.------ The cowboys had dealt with this stuck cow problem frequently. A flip of coin decided who would pull and who did the pushing. The plan was for Wade to throw a loop over the cows head and pull. Red would get behind and twist the tail, which gave Cow two reasons to move. And which mount had Wade saddled that day? None other than ole Dun, of outlaw fame. Wade was urging his horse to pull harder. Red was on foot behind the Cow, doing the twisting and pushing. The Dun horse, was slipping some, and pulling some. Then it had to happen, Dun got a firm spot, to put his hoofs on. That made cow lurch forward. Red was pushing and twisting, when the cow jumped on forward he fell in the mud. He had been putting a lot of effort into it. Even his face was muddy. Wade and Dun kept pulling and got the cow on firm ground. He was coiling his lasso, not saying anything. Wade knew Red would be mad, and did not want to make it worse. However ole Red was plenty mad, he figured his two "Pals", had purposely made him fall in the stinking mud. They had not done that. But if, there had been fifty witnesses, to tell Red they didn't, it would have done no good.
