"
Casy
reached
down
and
slipped
off
his
sneakers
and
wriggled
his
long
toes
on
the
step
.
293
"

Seems
like
maybe

.
If

Why

Albert
Rance
took
his

,
into
Oklahoma

They

Casy
scratched
his
toes
luxuriously
.
"
Didn
t
nobody
give

an
argument
?
All
of
em

"
295
"
Sure
.
They
wasn
t
stealin

.
296
They
thought
he
lef
it
,
an
they
jus
took
it
.
He
got
all
of
it
back
all
but
a
sofa
pilla
,
velvet
with
a
pitcher
of
an
Injun
on
it
.
Albert
claimed
Grampa

it
.
Claimed
Grampa
got
Injun
blood
,
that
s
why
he
wants
that
pitcher
.
Well
,
Grampa
did
get
her
,
but
he
didn
t
give
a
damn
about
the
pitcher
on
it
.
He
jus
liked
her
.
Used
to
pack
her
aroun
an
he
d
put
her
wherever
he
was
gonna
sit
.
He
never
would
give
her
back
to
Albert
.
Says
,
If
Albert
wants
this
pilla
so
bad
,
let
him
come

.
But
he
better
come
shootin

cause
I

So
finally
Albert
give

an
made
Grampa
a
present
of
that
pilla
.
It
give
Grampa
idears
,
though
.
He
took

savin
chicken

.
Says
he

gonna
have

bed
of
feathers
.
But
he
never
got
no
feather

.
One
time
Pa

mad
at
a
skunk
under

house
.
Pa
slapped
that

four
,
and
Ma

feathers
so

house
.
"
He
laughed
.
"
Grampa

tough
ol
bastard
.
Jus
set

that
Injun
pilla
an
says
,
Let
Albert

he
says
,
I
ll
take
that
squirt
and
wring
im

The
cat
crept
close
between
the
men
again
,
and
its
tail
lay
flat
and
its
whiskers
jerked
now
and
then
.
The
sun
dropped
low
toward
the
horizon
and
the
dusty
air
was
red
and
golden
.
The
cat
reached
out
a
gray
questioning
paw
and
touched
Joad
s
coat
.
He
looked
around
.
"
Hell
,
I
forgot
the
turtle
.
I
ain
t
gonna
pack
it
all
over
hell
.

He
unwrapped
the
land
turtle
and
pushed
it
under
the
house
.
But
in
a
moment
it
was
out
,
headed
southwest
as
it
had
been
from
the
first
.
The
cat
leaped
at
it
and
struck
at
its
straining
head
and
slashed
at
its
moving
feet
.
The
old
,
hard
,
humorous
head
was
pulled
in
,
and
the
thick
tail
slapped
in
under
the
shell
,
and
when
the
cat
grew
tired
of
waiting
for
it
and
walked
off
,
the
turtle
headed
on
southwest
again
.
299
Young
Tom
Joad
and
the
preacher
watched
the
turtle
go
waving
its
legs
and
boosting
its
heavy
,
high
-
domed
shell
along
toward
the
southwest
.
The
cat
crept
along
behind
for
a
while
,
but
in
a
dozen
yards
it
arched
its
back
to
a
strong
taut
bow
and
yawned
,
and
came
stealthily
back
toward
the
seated
men
.

"
Where
the
hell
you
s
pose
he
s
goin
?
"
said
Joad
.
"
I
seen
turtles
all
my
life
.
They
re
always
goin
someplace
.
They
always
seem
to
want
to
get
there
.
"
The
gray
cat
seated
itself
between
and
behind
them
again
.
It
blinked
slowly
.
The
skin
over
its
shoulders
jerked
forward
under
a
flea
,
and
then
slipped
slowly
back
.
The
cat
lifted
a
paw
and
inspected
it
,
flicked
its
claws
out
and
in
again
experimentally
,
and
licked
its
pads
with
a
shell
-
pink
tongue
.
The
red
sun
touched
the
horizon
and
spread
out
like
a
jellyfish
,
and
the
sky
above
it
seemed
much
brighter
and
more
alive
than
it
had
been
.
Joad
unrolled
his
new
yellow
shoes
from
his
coat
,
and
he
brushed
his
dusty
feet
with
his
hand
before
he
slipped
them
on
.
