“Okay. But stay out of line of his head, because the first mean move he makes I’m going to put a bullet through him.” Joel looked at Satan and their eyes met. His deep brown eyes had a sad look that brought a lump to Joel’s throat. He pulled a few spikes out of his muzzle and slowly worked his way down. After he finished a section he ran his hand over it to make sure. All the time Satan stood like a statue despite the pain. When it was all over Satan’s body was soaking with sweat. It’s the darndest thing I ever saw. Bill mumbled. He took a deep breath and put his gun away. That night, after supper someone produced a bat and ball and started a game of baseball. Joel was leading off third when suddenly everyone turned and stared him. Suspecting a trick he clamped his foot back on third. He received a blow that sent him sprawling in the dust. He got up and wheeled around. There stood Satan with a look of ut¬ most innocence. Joel laughed and said, “Satan, what are you doing here?” Satan moved up two steps and put his head on Joel’s chest and moved it up and down. Joel reached up and rubbed the two velvety spots behind Satan’s ears. Bill broke it up by saying, “I don’t want to see any of you men going near Satan. Prom now on he’s Joel’s horse.” Prom that day on, Joel and Satan worked together on the ranch. Satan was definitely a one man horse.

THE CAN - OPENER HAPPINESS What would we do without the can - opener? We would starve, except a few who have old-fashion mothers who still know how to boil potatoes. Nearly everything is canned. Peas, corn, tomatoes, and strawberries are all in cans. But even that is not the whole story. We turn our radios on and sit back in a com¬ fortable chair. No need to spend hours practis¬ ing at the piano. The very best music comes forth from the wireless. The radio has it in the can. Vivian Shaw - Room 23 Age 10 THE THREE DUCKS Once upon a time there were three ducks called Willy, Billy and Silly. One day Mrs. Goose was having a party and she invited the ducks. For lunch they had pie. Silly didn’t know how to eat it so he put his face in it. That was the end of the party for Silly Duck. Allan Girden — Room 1 Grade 3 This little verse Is very true: Make others happy. And you’ll be, too! Vanda Reczek -- Room 9 Age 9 SATAN Satan! Ah, but the name brings back memories. Many are happy, but there are the sad ones too. It all started when one day the Blue Grass Ranch had just bought a wild stallion. He was jet black and as wild as Old Nick and so was named Satan. He was a beautiful horse seventeen hands high, deep-chested, long legged, with eyes of fire and as proud as a German Emperor. Joel was trying to win the friendship of Satan. So on a sunny afternoon, with the help of the foreman Bill Kennedy, he mounted. Satan didn’t buck. He merely took off like a streak of lightning. Down the dusty road, over a hill and across the prairie he thundered. Then suddenly Joel saw, about a quarter mile ahead a big patch of cactus! He sawed back and forth on the reins trying to turn the big horse, but that beautiful, obstinate Satan plunged right into the cactus. Joel finally got him stopped on a grassy patch. Satan was literally covered from head to foot with spikes and Joel knew from the pain in his own leg, how in¬ tensely Satan must be suffering. After pulling the spikes out of his own leg he climbed out of the saddle. Just then Bill rode up, Better take your saddle off him. We won’t be able to get the spikes out without tying him down and the spikes will work in deeper until they kill him”. He drew his revolver. No Bill, wait. I got him into this and I want to try and get him out.” Joel interrupted. 30
