Excerpt of something

The's barn's got horses and hay. I'm glad for the hay 'cause it's a cold night being in the fall. I hear something...1

"Becky, get up and be quiet," I whisper.2

"What is . . .," I muffle her mouth on accoundt that she's got a big mouth. Got that from her pa. I hear an old couple bickering and light falls through the crack in the barn doors.3

"Miriam, I told you to put that feed up. Them horses'll be eating 'til Kingdom Come." An old man's voice cracks.4

"Oh, shut up chester. You want me to do too much. I wish you'd do it yerself instead of twiddlin' yer thumbs and drinkin' rum."5

Me and Becky hide ourselves behind a stack of hay.6

"Over there, man, there it is. Untouched."7

"Over where? I ain't seein' it."8

"By those haystacks."9

I wonder what they'll do if they find us. Maybe they'll hang us or feed us to the horses. My hands are still over Becky's mouth when...hiccup! Great. Thanks a lot Becky.10

"What was that?" said the woman.11

"I ain't heard nothing!"12

"You hard a' hearin'?"13

HICCUP!14

"Sounds like a cricket."15

"Sounds like a coon."16

"Alright. I'll go check it out."17
