Jessie slide to a stop at the bottom of the porch steps but his arms wuz still flappin up and down and pointin inna town. "Pa Pidgon, you best git inna town cuz Bertha Mae and them childbarin hips of hers has done caused a riot! Henry Cleatus done went to fetch Sheriff Li'l Brick." Pa ran inna the house to git his shotgun, Momma grabbed up her broom stick and Bertha Mae clutched onna that city slicker's arm like she wuz gonna kill for him. Then, they all headed for town, kickin up dust as they run down the street. **************** This time........... All the hollerin got the dawg, Bullet over excited and he wet onna the kitchen floor. Momma made Daisy Mae stay behind to clean up the mess, soz she wuz the last one to make it inna town. When she done got there, the riot wuz in full swing and bigger than anythin Daisy'd ever seed. It was even bigger than the one what happened when the Mayor had that prize winnin bull outta his place to mate with his heifer. Bein' shy and all, Daisy slipped down the alley next to the dry goods store soz she could have a peek without gettin inna the middle of thangs. Low and behold, sittin rat inna the alley wuz an automobile. Oh, it wuz a purty li'l thang. A nice shade of green, pert near the color of a toad. Daisy run her hand along the side of it and all the way around to the back. She saw the name all shinny and branded on the trunk. The letters done spelled the word, Vega. Daisy stepped back to get a gander at the lux'ry Vega. She whistled real low and thought, I'll bet that City Slicker owns this automobile. The sound of gun fire come from the center of town and she wuz forced to leave the Vega to see what wuz happenin.
