Larry McMurtry Quotes

Once, When I Was About Ten, We Were Approaching The Ranch After Veering North To Look At Some Pasturage When We Saw A Small Barefoot Boy Racing Along The Hot Road With Terror In His Face. My Father Just Managed To Stop Him. Though Incoherent With Fear, The Boy Managed To Inform Us That His Little Brother Had Just Drowned In The Horse Trough. My Father Grabbed The Boy And We Went Racing Up To The Farmhouse, Where The Anguished Mother, The Drowned Child In Her Arms, Was Sobbing, Crying Out In German, And Rocking In A Rocking Chair. Fortunately The Boy Was Not Quite Dead. My Father Managed To Get Him Away From His Mother Long Enough To Stretch Him Out On The Porch And Squeeze The Water Out Of Him. In A While The Boy Began To Belch Dirty Fluids And Then To Breathe Again. The Crisis Past, We Went On Home. The Graceful German Mother Brought My Father Jars Of Her Best Sauerkraut For Many, Many Years.
