After church Albert returned to his humble home. As he was fixing his average Sunday fare for dinner a knock came to the screen door.
"Hey there Albert, I here you found a prize!" said Joseph a good friend from Army days.
"Come on in, had your dinner yet today?" asked Albert, always willing to share.
The two black men sat down for a hearty dinner as the old Navy cook had prepared for the crew a thousand times before. The conversation was naturally about the silver medallion and his finding it in the muck.
"You know thinking of it when I pulled the piece free of that mire, there was bit and pieces of torn clothing, a shoe, and what might have been a wallet. I was of course interested in the silver shine, and the wallet as the clothes were soaked in muck. I tossed them in the wagon and took the load to Jay for his garden. I was surprised when Lena foaled a few months back, she too was a big surprise." told Albert as he leaned by with a toothpick.
"When did you have that old mare bred?" asked Joe.
"I didn't, and what's odd about it is that when she's on the street we are together. I never get more than a few steps away from the wagon of some crazy kid tries to mess with things. So I can't think of any stallion who could have bred her." said Albert.
"You getting lonely in your old age, I mean liv'en here alone with Lena?" asked Joe with a twinkle of his eye.
Albert jumped to his feet, "You say'in I'm so lonely I'd fuck Lena a horse?"
"Well it's been done before, not the first time a man in the heat of some night took his loneliness out on a female, ah one kind or another." replied Joe as he brushed the statement off as if nothing too new.
"I thing you've worn out your welcome!" said Albert with a scowl.
Joe coughed and got up, "Well ole' friend if you are tired of company, then I'll thank you for a good dinner and be go'in." said Joe as he headed for the door.
Once the dinner dishes were cleaned up Albert went to lay in his hammock and watch the colt play about Lena. "Couldn't come close to fill in her big....oh man! Now that pervert's got me think'in his ways!" thought Albert as he closed his eyes for a nap.
