Billy was wild African Ass and he was ten years old when his herd was hunted down for their hide. He was found hiding in the tall African grass by Marry a wild Nombi Dessert Horse mare, who was the alpha mare. She nuzzled him and then she spoke.

"It will be alright little one, I was off in the distance and I saw everything. Those rotten eggplants, they are so rotten that Ben's wife the farmer that feed use hay and alfalfa could not make a good dish out of them." Marry said and that made Billy laugh

"Can, you be my new mother, I just lost my family and I am still learning how to find food and water?" Billy said as he cried

"Yes that is why I came over here, You are right about those hunters, they are rotten eggplants and no one can make a good meal out of them!" Billy said and they both laughed, Marry led Billy over to the herd and when he got up a branch hit him in the head and he shook his head and kept walking.

" Low bridge watch out! " Marry said and then she laughed.

"Hello, my name is Todd, sorry about your herd, I promise I will make you laugh, oh crap!" Todd said as he tripped on his hooves and fell and Billy laughed.

"See, I told you, this Max, Tricks, Tom, Mills, Patty, Pasty, Joe, Grass, Telly, Trisha, Holly, Molly, Fred, Joy, Joyce, Tiffany, Jenifer, Jewels, Dorthy, Dotty, Kelly, Kim, Francis, Jim, and Jessie." Todd said

"Well, let go every it is breakfast time, let go find something." Marry said and they all followed. They found wild eggplant and they ate one each and Todd just so happened to be to close to where Billy was eating and Billy lifted his and they had a meeting of the minds.

" Todd really any closer we would be kissing. Find another spot to eat." Billy yelled at Todd

"Sorry, I think I need to go to the eye doctor, I did not see you there." Todd said

"No, you just need to pull your head out of your butt and pay attention." Billy said.

"Yes, you are probably right, I need to pay attention, it would hurt less." Todd said

You, got that right, I think the herd has had their fill, our mother Marry is leading the hurt to water." Billy said and they followed the herd.

"What out for that branch, never mind." Todd said.

"That is going to leave a mark, ouch! do you have any aspirin?" Billy said

" I am all out of that and I need to go to the store for some more." Todd said.

" Smart ass, that hurt!" Billy said

"Hey, I am not smart ass I am a smart horse, you are the ass!" Todd said.

" hey, I resent that remark, watch it pal!" Billy said and started to pick on him and then Todd was playing along and they tripped on two Meerkat holes. They went into to the water hole. They got there and wen to get a drink and got stuck in to mud. Marry got a branch and pulled them out and shook her and everyone laughed at them. Then Ben came and started to talk to her.

" I see you have adopted some girl you sure have great looking herd and saw that. Are they two accident waiting to happen?" Ben said and came with a wheel barrel of hay and alfalfa. he sat it down and they all ate. I was lunchtime. Todd and Billy kept running into things and each other. However, they were inseparable. The End!
