All the children at school have to bring something from home to show the class. Sonny doesn't know

what to bring - what will the other children think if he brings in a horseshoe?


When Uncle Jim takes Sonny on a trip in his wagon, he tells Sonny stories around the campfire. He shows

him how he works metal in the traditional way and takes him to a horse fair. Watching Jim, Sonny starts

to feel better about where he comes from. Now he has something brilliant to show the children at school.
