    "How Doth the Simple Spelling Bee" is a humorous poem written by Owen Wister. Owen Wister was an American writer and "How Doth the Simple Spelling Bee" is a satirical piece that pokes fun at the irregularities and complexities of the English language, especially in terms of spelling. The title itself is a play on words, as it deliberately uses an archaic form of English ("doth") and introduces a common spelling bee, a competition where participants are asked to spell words. The poem uses a whimsical and clever approach to highlight the peculiarities and inconsistencies in English spelling rules. Wister's poem humorously explores the challenges that students face when trying to master the intricacies of spelling in the English language. The verses likely feature words with unusual or irregular spellings, adding a playful tone to the poem. While the poem is entertaining and witty, it also reflects a common sentiment shared by many who have grappled with the idiosyncrasies of English spelling. "How Doth the Simple Spelling Bee" showcases Owen Wister's talent for blending humor and satire to comment on aspects of language and education.

    "The Virginian" is a classic Western novel written by Owen Wister, first published in 1902. It is considered one of the earliest and most influential works of Western literature, helping to shape the popular image of the American cowboy and the Wild West. The novel is set in the late 19th century in the American West, primarily in Wyoming. It tells the story of the title character, known simply as "the Virginian." He is a strong, skilled, and principled cowboy who works on the Sunk Creek Ranch. The Virginian is a symbol of the archetypal cowboy, often seen as brave, honest, and dedicated to his own code of ethics. The plot of the novel revolves around the Virginian's experiences, relationships, and challenges in the West. One of the central elements is his budding romance with a schoolteacher named Molly Stark Wood. Their love story and the conflicts they face are woven into the broader narrative, which includes themes of justice, honor, and the clash between law and order in a rugged and untamed frontier. Owen Wister's "The Virginian" is not just a romance or a tale of the Old West but also a character study and an exploration of the moral dilemmas faced by the people of that era. The novel played a significant role in shaping the popular perception of the American West and its rugged, independent, and noble characters. It has been adapted into various forms, including films, television series, and stage productions, and continues to be celebrated as a classic of Western literature.

    Una escena curiosa atraía a los pasajeros hacia la ventanilla, tanto hombres como mujeres, así que me levanté y crucé el vagón para ver de qué se trataba. Cerca de las vías vi un cercado y alrededor de este había algunos hombres riendo; dentro del cercado había torbellinos de polvo, y en medio del polvo algunos caballos, corcoveando, apiñándose y esquivándose. Eran ponis vaqueros en un corral y uno de ellos no se dejaba atrapar, daba igual quién le lanzara el lazo. Estuvimos un buen rato contemplando aquel espectáculo; nuestro tren había parado para llenar el motor junto al tanque de agua un poco antes de llegar al andén de la estación de Medicine Bow. Ya llevábamos un retraso de seis horas y nos moríamos por algo de entretenimiento. El poni del corral era listo y de patas ligeras. ¿Han visto alguna vez a un boxeador habilidoso estudiando a su antagonista con una mirada silenciosa y fija? Esa mirada era la que el poni clavaba en cualquiera de los hombres que se acercara con el lazo. El jinete podía fingir que miraba hacia el cielo, que lucía espléndido, o que entablaba una animada conversación con un viandante; todo era inútil. El poni lo adivinaba. Ningún amago lo engañaba. Ese animal era todo un hombre de mundo. Sus ojos atentos se clavaban en la amenaza disimulada y la gravedad de su rictus de caballo convertía la situación en una escena de comedia costumbrista. Luego, le lanzaban el lazo, pero el animal ya se encontraba en otro lugar; si los caballos se ríen, debía de abundar la alegría en aquel corral. En ocasiones, el poni daba una vuelta solo, a continuación se deslizaba como un rayo entre sus hermanos, y todos ellos, como un banco de peces juguetones, salían trotando por el corral, pateando el fino polvo y ¿tal como me pareció¿ riéndose a carcajadas.
