“Gramps tell us the story about the gray horse again!” pleaded Billy
” Pease grandpa! please!” urged Gabby
“Ok, ok….... once upon a time in Texas there lived a wild gray horse. He didn’t belong to a herd becasue none of the herds were brave enough to accept him! They all feared him. Even the red stallion from where Austin now is.”
“Hey! Thats where we live!” interrupted Gabby.
“Thats right Gabby, anyway… there were also cowboys who lived near where the gray liked to run. There was one cowboy in particular who wanted to capture gray. This cowboys name was Jeremiah Jones… you see he wanted to tame ol’ gray, that’s what Jeremiah called him, and also use him in rodeos. Jere was one of those cowboys who was only in it for the money. So Jere set out one day looking for the ol’ gray, and he found him. Jere snuck up behind the beast but the ol’ gray saw him and killed him! thats the end of our story!” Grandpa said
