has closed them for the last time.
That old family horse that is next
best friend to man. how all the little
ones will cry and say, "Old Sorrel is
dead and we can never ride him to
water again nor hold him in the front
yard to pick on the grass-boo, hoo"

to be enough room in the old family
house, so the daughter-in-law says:

house." Zone room out in the yard.)
