| Tal and Hanna watched the leathery, old cowboy walk slowly to the middle of the corral and stop. It wasn’t long before the curious young horse moved towards him, neck outstretched, sniffing. The man never moved, his voice barely audible. Each day was the same with little additions introduced to the routine. Over coffee one morning, Tal questioned the cowboy’s tactics. “Why didn’t you just rope that colt and show him who was boss right from the get go?" A lazy smile creased the cowboy’s face. “Son, there’s no use getting any older if you don’t get any wiser.” |  |
