Chapter 2 - THE GOVERNOR ADDRESSES THE ASSEMBLY
BUSTER BARKED ENTHUSIASTICALLY, tail wagging,"Come on, you're going to miss it!"
Buster was never wrong about something exciting. So I pushed though the screen door and toddled after him, as fast as my short legs could carry me.
The barn was filled with more animals than I knew we had, we were only able to squeeze in at the side, since both dog and boy were bigger than many there - and the good seats had been reserved for members of both Assembly houses. A podium had been raised on on manure spreader parked against one wall. While the barn was too modern to have a loft, the stacked hay on the opposite side acted as the galleries, with the rafters filled with other observers.
Fowl and mammal shared their places peaceably next to each other
