Bessie's Lucky Bid

"Bessie, I told you to put that colt in the barn."
"I did, Papa, but he won't stay in the barn. He knows how to open the gate, and I told you his name is Lucky."
"Well, I guess you're lucky to be paying $2 for one of the best-bred colts in McLennan County. The way that colt minds you, no telling how far he will go."
