despite our understanding, he was itching for a fight with
me. Now, I don't know
what possessed me in that
moment to say the next thing I did. Maybe I was feeling
guilty that because I was my daddy's son, I could ride
Ghost Wind. Maybe it was that, but it wasn't out of fear!
said what I said. I no longer was afraid of Mitchell. "You

them.
O Neither boy is ready to get into a fight over who rides
Ghost Wind.
ONeither boy is ready to admit how much he wants to
ride Ghost Wind.

said. "Your white daddy'd kill me."
