jump that bothered him, it was the
width He simply wouldn't try it.
After weeks of patient coaxing,
Monte almost gave up in despair.
Then Mrs Roger had an idea. She re-
fused Bobby his rations of dry bread
for several days. Then she came and
stood on the opposite side of the
chassis, and held out tempting loaf
to the bread-hungry steer.
Bobby gazed longingly at the deli

maybe, after all, he could make it. He
gathered himself together for a mighty
leap . and cleared the obstruction
without touching hoof to it!
After that there we're no more
refusals on his part And even when
the tires were inflated, increasing the
height of the jump considerably, he
still took it. calmly and cleanly.
His car-leaping record to date is
265 times, with only twelve touches.

The big steer spent the first years

length and spread of his horns.
Then Monte began trying to tame
him by offering him pieces of dry
bread, for which Bobby had developed
a passion.
Gradually the wild" steer became
