Chapter 2 Just a farmhand
"Come on Mike let's go so we can this over with " mom said.
Mike hurried up but he has so much going through his head right now will they like me oh my what if they don't like me what if there City boys And don't want nothing to do with me coz I'm a hick hillbilly to them . "Coming mom be right there ".
We start walking down the pathway to the street and I ask my mom "am I good enough to make friends or do you think I should just keep to my animal friends ". "Well sugar britches you have to jump a few fences and try to because you won't ever know until you do " as they crossed the road Mikes heart is pounding he is sweating and breathing hard in anticipation of meeting these three brothers . We slowly walk up to the door and mom hesitates " you calm yourself down now ok you be yourself boy ". She rings the doorbell .
She hears yelling inside will somebody get the door slowly the big red door opens up a beautiful lady all dressed up in a dress answers hello how can I help you she said . Hi we are your neighbors across the way I made you food so you won't have to cook tonight and me and my son wanted to come welcome you to our parts . Well thank you very much for the welcome, I'd have you come in but things are such a mess right now .
That's quite alright when you get settled in please send your sons over to meet my son , he works hard on our farm and wants to make some new friends . Fine I'll do that and thank you for food enjoy your evening .
"Well thats disappointing , I really wanted to meet them "Mike said. Mikes mom answers back " don't fret sugar britches they will introduce themselves to you soon enough . Now let's get home wind down for night ".
Back at home Mike is finishing up his nightly duties and checks on the animals but all the time kept looking over at new owners and was thinking about all the possible fun things he can do with three new friends . Mike says goodnight to his mom and heads up to his room . Well I must make a good impression it will be nice talking to actual humans instead of animals, at least to be answered back . He starts to get undressed pulls covers back and crawls in bed . Gotta get up early in the morning do it all over again.
He dozed off and is sleeping good when he is awakened by horses in barn . He jumps out of bed grabs his shotgun flashlight and slowly heads towards barn to check on things. He makes his way to the barn and slowly and quietly goes inside shotgun armed ready to go. Suddenly Mike is startled by some loud noise .
