	“Marster had a great big old. bull dat was mighty mean. Re had. real long horns, and he could lift de fence raum‘s down one by one and turn all de cows out. Evvy time he got out he wuld fight us chillun, so Marster had. to keep hirn fastened up in de stable. One day when us wanted to play In de stable, us turned Old O~mel (dat was de bull) out in de pasture. He tuk down rails enough wid. his J horns to let de cows in Marster‘s fine gyarden and dey et it all up. Marster was wuss dan mad dat time, but us hid in de barn under some hay ‘tU he went to bed. Next inornin‘ he called us all up to git our whuppin‘, but us cried and said us wouldntt never do it no more so our good old Marster let us ofr dat tinie.
