He has practically taken up residence in Sunshine’s barn. They’ve become great buddies, playing chase and making up their own games. And every once in a while Freddy comes over to see what’s going on. Of course, he never joins in the fun. He stands there, making rude comments about how ugly or dumb mules are. Just because he has show horses, he thinks he’s better!

Something else unusual is happening. Our neighbor, the man who lives down the hill, keeps peering over his fence at Brown Sunshine. He only has one arm. He lost the other a few years ago in a traffic accident. His wife was killed in that same accident.

His name is Joe Henry Covington, at least that’s the name tacked onto one of his fence posts. But we’ve called him “the loner” ever since Christmas, when Mom brought him a loaf of homemade bread and a jar of Fabulous Five Fruit Medley. He accepted them gratefully enough, but hurried back into his house, as if he preferred to be alone. Rarely does he speak to anyone. He never paid any attention to us until Brown Sunshine was born. Now he’s at the fence every day . . . watching.

I wish that Freddy had never said anything about Brown Sunshine being a freebie mule. I can’t help worrying that the owners of the jack are going to turn up and ask us for money . . . or take Brown Sunshine away.

There’s Mr. Covington again. I keep wondering: What is he thinking? Why is he so interested? Does he know something we don’t?
