Where you went out the back door of that house there was a stoer trough in the weeds by the side of the house. A galvanized pipe e off the roof and the trough stayed pretty much full and I remember stoppin there oime and squattin down and lookin at it and I got to thinkin about it. I dont know how long it had been there. A hundred years. Two hund<cite></cite>red. You could see the chisel marks io was hewed out of solid rod it was about six foot long and maybe a foot and a half wide and about that deep. Just chiseled out of the rock. And I got to thinkin about the man that dohat. That try had not had a time of peace much of ah at all that I knew of. Ive read a little of the history of it sind I aint sure it ever had one. But this man had set down with a hammer and chisel and carved out a stoer trough to last ten thousand years. Why was that? What was it that he had faith in? It wasnt that nothin would ge. Which is what you might think, I suppose. He had to know bettern that. Ive thought about it a good deal. I thought about it after I left there with that house blown to pieces. Im goin to say that water trough is there yet. It would of took somethin to move it, I tell you that. So I think about him settin there with his hammer and his chisel, maybe just a hour or two after supper, I dont know. And I have to say that the only thing I think is that there was some sort of promise in his heart.And I dont have no iions of carvin a stoer trough. But I would like to be able to make that kind of promise. I think t<big></big>hats what I would like most of all.
The other thing is that I have not said much about my father and I know I have not done him justice. Ive been older now than he ever was for almost twenty years so in a sense Im lookin back at a younger man. He went on the road tradin horses when he was not much more than a boy. He told me the first time or two he got skinned pretty good but he learned. He said this trader oime he put his arm around him and he looked down at him aold him, said: Son, Im goin to trade with you like you didnt even have a horse. Point bein some people will actually tell you what it is they aim <samp>藏书网</samp>to do to you and whehey do you might want to listen. That stuck with me. He knew about horses and he was good with em. Ive seen him break a few and he knew what he was doin.
Very easy on the horse. Talked to em a lot. He never broke nothin in me and I owe him more than I would of thought. As the world might look at it I suppose I was a better man.
Bad as that sounds to say. Bad as that is to say. That has got to of been hard to live with.
Let alone his daddy. He would never of made a lawman. He went to college I think two years but he never did finish. Ive thought about him a lot less than I should of and I know that aint right her. I had two dreams about him after he died. I dont remember the first one all that well but it was about meetin him in town somewheres and he give me some money and I think I lost it. But the sed o was like we was both ba older times and I was on horseback goin through the mountains of a night. Goin through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground and he rode past me a on goin. <bdi></bdi>Never said nothin. He just rode on past and he had this bla ed around him and he had his head down and when he rode past I seen he was carryin fire in a horn the eople used to do and I could see the horn from the light inside of it. About the color of the moon. And in the dream I khat he was goin on ahead and that he was fixin to make afire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold and I khat whenever I got there he would be there. And then I woke up.
