8 – English cowboy
More than anything, a young man from Britain wanted to be a cowboy. He went to New Mexico in the US and eventually found a rancher who took pity on him and gave the lad a chance.
“This,” said the rancher, showing him a rope, “is a lariat. We use it to catch cows.”
“I see,” said the young man, trying to seem knowledgeable as he examined the lariat. “And what do you use for bait?”
