Laurence, Sis and Burro

When Sis and Laurence lived in the Smith house in Virden when I was about ten years old. Laurence had gone up into the Borro Mountains near Silver City, New Mexico and caught a little burro and brought him home. He hadd a long rope on him that was coiled at my feet. He asked me to hold him while he pitched some hay to his cows. When he threw the hay into the stall the burro took of and jerked the rope out of my hand. I was standing there watching the burro run away. I was not aware that my foot was in the coil. The next thing I knew I was on my back being dragged across an old fence that was down and into a plowed field before the rope came loose from my foot. Laurence came running out after us. He was really relived when my foot came loose. He was afraid I would be dragged to death.
