After and hour the boys arrived at the suger beet farm. Ric was the first to unloaded and taken to a long quansit steel building. Then Josh was taken by a woman to a old wood barn. Their he was placed in a narrow stall that was more for a pony the a full grown jack.
Josh could here the screams of Ric's donkey voice. He wondered if he was getting killed, or OH MY gelded.
Josh was wakened at sun rise and harness to a jenny. The pair were added to a beet wagon and sent to work. Josh looked but no sight of Ric.
A donkeys dat is hot, long and hard worked. The tired donkey was returned to his stall after dark, but no Ric.
