A Horse Called Bear Page #5

- Great, so I come to Michigan

and the only family that I have hates me.

- You've got to give it some time.

It's a big adjustment for everyone.

- I just, I need to get a job.

I need to get out of the

house before I go crazy.

- Everything's gonna be OK.

- Yeah, they only have to deal with me

until my 18th birthday,

then I'm out of here.

- It's hard to love someone like Hannah.

- Yeah Hannah's a mean girl.

- Maybe there's an exception

for people like her.

- Probably not.

- Hey!

What are you kids doing?

Get outta there?

- We're supposed to be

weeding for Miss Gloria.

Remember?

(grunting)

- Mister Otto's mean too.

- Yes he is.

- I know, we could pray for

them, Hanna and mister Otto.

- I guess so.

- How about we try it

and see what happens.

- OK!

- So did you girls have a good day today?

- Mostly, but there was some bad parts.

- Oh, did something happen?

- Hannah was mean to us again.

She even tried to push Austin down.

- And Mister Otto yelled at us again.

- Well...

- That's OK dad, we decided

to pray for both of them.

- Sweetie that's perfect.

- We want to treat them

nice 'cause that's how

we would want them to treat us.

- Wow, well do you want to pray then?

- Dear Jesus, be with

Hannah and Mister Otto

and be nice to them and

help them to learn to be

nice to us too.

- And we also pray for them to be happy.

- Amen.

- Amen.

- [Beth] What you doing?

- Drawing.

- That's looking great!

This looks like it teaches you shading,

different shading techniques?

- Yeah.

- You're really getting good!

You really like to draw don't you?

- Yeah, I'm excited to

come up with something

for the drawing contest.

- I'm excited to see

what you come up with.

Do you have any ideas?

- Not yet, I'm working

on some ideas though.

- Austin, I love it, this is great.

- Your dad and I are really proud of you.

- Now you've done it!

- What?

- Ethan's gone!

- He'll be back, where can he go?

- I don't know?

Maybe he's on his way back home!

- Just give him time to cool off.

He'll be back.

- I hope so, I'm finally

getting to know Ethan better.

I'm not ready for him to leave yet!

- Welcome to the farm.

- Yeah thanks.

- So that car of yours

got you all the way here.

- Just barely.

- Wow.

How are you doing after the funeral?

- Yeah, I've been better.

- Well, you're gonna get on with life.

It's hard, but you'll get on.

- I hope so.

- There's room to bunk in there with Josh.

He's one of the ranch hands,

not much older than you.

- Well thanks uncle Carl

for giving me this job.

- Well leaning stalls is hard work,

but as my granddaddy used

to say, it's an honest job.

(laughing) And you look plenty strong.
