My
grandfather, Zelindo, told stories of walking to his one room
school in Sienega, California. The boys often carried 22's
for hunting on the way. And they checked traps. One
day they found a raccoon in one of their live traps. The top
and sides of the trap were made with wire, making it dangerous to
approach. But they put a long branch through the handles and
brought the caged animal to class. The angry raccoon would
try to claw at anything that came near. One of the students
had a bad habit of acting up and, on this day, he went too
far...so the teacher told him: "You! Go sit on the 'coon
box!" |
