Just as his parents failed at raising chickens, they failed at providing and nurturing his potential. His parents, he feels, are like the chickens. They are not endowed with great intelligence and not only engage in senseless, repetitive effort, but are really rather impotent and unable to guard against the vicissitudes of life. They were incapable of providing a good example or healthy environment in which the son, like and idea and like “the egg” could reach his potential. Yet, as the son stares at the egg from which everyone, at some point, has come, he wonders why the cycle goes on. The cycle must go on, because ideas (symbolized by the egg) never

The government is supposed to be there for the people and to help enforce the law for the people. Sometimes people run into issues with laws, some laws can be a reasonable and are put there for a good logical reason. Such as helping endangered species or excess food production. On the opposing side, you have laws that seem to be unfair to farmers or ranchers. For example, farmers or ranchers are being pushed off their lands by government or having to make new career choice in life because of strict laws or because of eminent domain. The question that needs to be asked is, does the government need to step back and reevaluate the harsh laws it put in effect or do farmers and ranchers just need to do what’s asked of them and accept their loss

Trent James was sitting on his bed reading a book. “Trent! Go buy a loaf of bread and a jug of milk.” “Here’s $.50 to get you and your sister some candy.” Trent went to his cooking mother and got the money, then left for the grocery store.

He didn’t see one. Trent then carried the dog home. “Mom. I found a dog”, Trent said. “A dog?”,Trent’s Mom said. “Yes, a dog.”,Trent said again.

Is there any coffee left?” Ernest asked, holding up his cup. “Sure,” Don said and filled it. “I don’t know if you knew it, but once Butch healed, he was the sweetest dog, I have ever seen. He lived in our home for years until we gave him to my nephew for his son.” Ernest smiled and said, “I never knew that. It was funny at the time you scared the hell out of me when you told me you gave no one discounts. If anybody asked for one that you charged them double.” “I remember the expression on your face was priceless.” “It surprised me when you told me, your name was Don and to never call you doctor again.” Ernest said, "It sure didn’t take you long to decide you wanted the sick animals, and I could have the healthy ones until we found homes for them. Was that your original plan?” “Oh, no, when I saw you with the injured dog, I knew at once, we could work together, and the stories around town about you were bullshit,” he said, as the phone rang. “Dr. Kelley, my I help you,” answering the phone, he said. “What’s wrong with Fluffy today?” “Sure, I’ll come by after work.

He walked over towards her, and asked her what was wrong. Elaine didn’t really mean to tell Michael, but all the words just poured out; Losing the field, her Mama getting sick and that they couldn’t afford a doctor to help her Mama.

He explained the situation to him, and at first Papa did not want to go. “They obviously can’t pay me to take care of Elaine’s mother, what would I get out of it?” said Michael’s Papa.
