From a distance this sloped rock looks like a bear sleeping on its side. Up close, it’s huge and easy to climb. Folks have been going up to the top to see the view and carve their names. Some boys raced each other up, then fired pistols in the air to celebrate. Jake asked Pa if he could have a few sticks of dynamite to throw off the top, just to see what would happen.

Pa thought a moment. When he said yes, Jake let out a happy yell.

Pepper and I were at the river when we heard the explosion. We turned in time to see a puff of smoke floating down from the top. Some cattle took off running in fright, but were rounded up quick by men on horseback.

I don’t understand why boys like such things or why Pa thinks dynamite is safer than rifles.
