Praise =Pull = Fun.
My oldest brother' Jack, was always the biggest and strongest of the rest of us brothers. We looked forward to his being the "Boss". When we were small boys, Jack 10, Dick 9, Bob 8, Jim 7 we enjoyed being pulled in our wagon.With acres of terrain to enjoy at our Bell Creek home we, the "riders" found (by accident) a way to get our free Wagon ride. During one of his "pulls" Jack stopped and looked back at us in the wagon and said "You guys don't even like me for pulling you" We all said,at once " Oh yes we sure do", "You are so strong to be able to pull us like you do" Say no more, Jack could pull the loaded wagon all day knowing  we appreciated him doing it.
This little episode was remembered by us (riders) over the years and when I told of it to my wife Donna she thought it was a cute story and depicted it on the cover of the first art book she "authored" called "Paint and Tell". Published in 1981.
