:45:24
It were Flag.
:45:27
I reckon. Yes, sir.
:45:30
But he won't never do it again, Pa.
I'll whip him with a stick, Pa.
:45:35
- He ain't been whipped.
- You don't think whipping will help?
:45:39
I'll pen him up...
:45:41
We got no place to pen up
a wild thing like that.
:45:44
I'll halter him. I'll tie him
and let him kick...
:45:47
Now, wait a minute, boy.
Just listen to me.
:45:50
Yes, Pa. I'm listening.
:45:52
What's happened is powerful bad.
You know that.
:45:56
- Yes.
- But your ma and me have an agreement.
:45:59
We're going to have a try at a remedy.
:46:01
- You'll work extra hard to fix things?
- Oh, Pa, I'll do anything.
:46:06
- I'll work like you never seen!
- All right, all right.
:46:10
First, you get whatever corn
we got left.
:46:13
Then you plant it
like we done before.
:46:16
Then you build our fence up high.
:46:19
When it's higher than you can reach,
I hope I can help you.
:46:22
But you got to get it all up
before the corn starts showing again.
:46:27
Maybe that way we're safe.
:46:30
- You understand, boy?
- You can depend on me, Pa.
:46:44
Soon as I get the corn planted, you'll
stay in the barn till the fence is up.
