 What were you two doing riding in the ditch with Rocky? He could have broken a leg on that slope. I thought I could trust you with our animals. The explanation cascaded from both defensive mouths. Rocky stopped really fast. He snorted and pawed the ground. He backed up. He took us into the ditch and along the fence. He wouldn't do what we told him. Rocky did it all by himself. Dad listened without a word, considered the details, and stalked to the house.
