The sugar was coarse and black, first
cousin to virgin molasses, but il was
redolent. The horses crowded around
Gerry. They paved at him. He had
to beat them back. They made a bold
assault on the empty but odorous hat.
Gerry laughed and cleared the fence to
get away from them. Il think your
master must be mistaken" he said

The foreman looked his admiration.
He began to take Gerry seriously: il

the horses that We're broken TO saddle

Then his shrewd eyes looked around
for further details to add to his report
to his master. He noted that a few,
very few, of the cattle were still
lying down when they should have
been on their feet and eating. These
were herded into corner Of their own
and old BOnifacio was tending them
Beside each was a pile Of fresh cut
grass. As they ate they nosed 1t away,
but Bonifacio pushed 1t back.
