"
I
suppose
I
ought
to
give
the
wooden
dummy
a
good
start
of
me
,
"
growled
Jim
.
"
Never
mind
that
,
"
said
the
Sawhorse
.
"
I
’
ll
do
the
best
I
can
.
"
"
Go
!
"
cried
Zeb
;
and
at
the
word
the
two
horses
leaped
forward
and
the
race
was
begun
.
Jim
’
s
big
hoofs
pounded
away
at
a
great
rate
,
and
although
he
did
not
look
very
graceful
he
ran
in
a
way
to
do
credit
to
his
Kentucky
breeding
.
But
the
Sawhorse
was
swifter
than
the
wind
.
Its
wooden
legs
moved
so
fast
that
their
twinkling
could
scarcely
be
seen
,
and
although
so
much
smaller
than
the
cab
-
horse
it
covered
the
ground
much
faster
.
Before
they
had
reached
the
trees
the
Sawhorse
was
far
ahead
,
and
the
wooden
animal
returned
to
the
starting
place
as
was
being
lustily
cheered
by
the
Ozites
before
Jim
came
panting
up
to
the
canopy
where
the
Princess
and
her
friends
were
seated
.
I
am
sorry
to
record
the
fact
that
Jim
was
not
only
ashamed
of
his
defeat
but
for
a
moment
lost
control
of
his
temper
.
As
he
looked
at
the
comical
face
of
the
Sawhorse
he
imagined
that
the
creature
was
laughing
at
him
;
so
in
a
fit
of
unreasonable
anger
he
turned
around
and
made
a
vicious
kick
that
sent
his
rival
tumbling
head
over
heels
upon
the
ground
,
and
broke
off
one
of
its
legs
and
its
left
ear
.
An
instant
later
the
Tiger
crouched
and
launched
its
huge
body
through
the
air
swift
and
resistless
as
a
ball
from
a
cannon
.
The
beast
struck
Jim
full
on
his
shoulder
and
sent
the
astonished
cab
-
horse
rolling
over
and
over
,
amid
shouts
of
delight
from
the
spectators
,
who
had
been
horrified
by
the
ungracious
act
he
had
been
guilty
of
.
When
Jim
came
to
himself
and
sat
upon
his
haunches
he
found
the
Cowardly
Lion
crouched
on
one
side
of
him
and
the
Hungry
Tiger
on
the
other
,
and
their
eyes
were
glowing
like
balls
of
fire
"
I
beg
your
pardon
,
I
’
m
sure
,
"
said
Jim
,
meekly
.
"
I
was
wrong
to
kick
the
Sawhorse
,
and
I
am
sorry
I
became
angry
at
him
.
He
has
won
the
race
,
and
won
it
fairly
;
but
what
can
a
horse
of
flesh
do
against
a
tireless
beast
of
wood
?
"
Hearing
this
apology
the
Tiger
and
the
Lion
stopped
lashing
their
tails
and
retreated
with
dignified
steps
to
the
side
of
the
Princess
.
