A man was sitting with his feet up on a desk. He turned his head when Stanley and the guard entered, but otherwise didn't move. Even though he was inside, he wore sunglasses and a cowboy hat. He also held a can of soda, and the sight of it made Stanley even more aware of his own thirst.

. . .

There must have been a small refrigerator behind his desk, because the man in the cowboy hat produced two more cans of soda. For a second Stanley hoped that one might be for him, but the man gave one to the guard and said the other was for the driver.

—Holes,

The Black Beauty
The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant
meadow with a pond of clear water in it. Some shady trees
leaned over it, and rushes and water-lilies grew at the deep
end. Over the hedge on one side, we looked into a ploughed
field, and on the other, we looked over a gate at our master's
house, which stood by the roadside. At the top of the meadow
was a plantation of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook
overhung by a steep bank. Whilst I was young, I lived upon my
mother's milk, as I could not eat grass. In the day time, I ran
by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. When it was
hot, we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees, and
when it was cold, we had a nice warm shed near the plantation
As soon as I was old enough to eat grass, my mother started
to go out to work in the day time, and come back in the
evening. There were six young colts in the meadow beside me,
all older than I was; some were nearly as large as grown-up
horses. I used to run with them and had great fun; we used
to gallop together round and round the field, as fast as we
could. Sometimes we had a rather rough play, for they would
frequently bite and kick as well as gallop.
I wish you to pay attention to what I am going to say to
you. The colts who live here are very good colts; but they are cart-horse colts, and of course they have not learned manners
You have been well bred and are well born; your father has a
great name in these parts, and your grandfather won the cup
two years at the Newmarket races; your grandmother had the
sweetest temper of any horse I ever knew, and I think you have
never seen me kick or bite. I hope you will grow up gentle and
good, and never learn bad ways do your work with a good
will lift your feet up well when you trot, and never bite or kick
even in play
Thave never forgotten my mother's advice, I knew she was a
wise old horse, and our master thought a great deal of her. Her
name was Duchess, but he often called her Pet. Our master
was a good kind man. He gave us good food, good lodging
and kind words; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little
children: we all were fond of him, and my mother loved him

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of The Prince.


Whenever those states which have been acquired as stated have been accustomed to live under their own laws and in freedom, there are three courses for those who wish to hold them: the first is to ruin them, the next is to reside there in person, the third is to permit them to live under their own laws, drawing a tribute, and establishing within it an oligarchy which will keep it friendly to you. Because such a government, being created by the prince, knows that it cannot stand without his friendship and interest, and does its utmost to support him; and therefore he who would keep a city accustomed to freedom will hold it more easily by the means of its own citizens than in any other way.

D. There are three ways for a prince to hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom: ruin it, live there, or create an oligarchy that is loyal to him, all of which are equally effective.
