The Most Stupendous Love Story the World has ever known.

Part One. The grey horse racing through the Storm.

Bridge lived in a little country town in Queensland.
He was 18 and quite good at riding horses and rounding up
the cattle. He wasn’t much for book learning though.
His mother said he had a heart of solid gold.
One afternoon he was riding the grey gelding and it
started to rain. The horse saw a twisted branch fall in the grass.
He must have thought it was a snake.
Anyway he started running. He lept over fallen trees
and puddles of water. The storm started to get worse.
The wind was howling and the rain was torrential.
Bridge tried to control the horse but it was too frightened.
All he could do was hold on for dear life.
Just as suddenly as it arrived the Storm calmed.
It was still raining heavily but the wind had settled.
Bridge wandered under a giant stand of trees to try and keep dry.
He checked the horse to see if it was hurt.
The horse had some scratched but seemed unharmed.
“Who races a horse in a Storm are you crazy?” said Tender.
Tender  was 16 and lived in the farm down the road from Bridge’s place.
She was checking the fences and pulled in to the same safe spot.

Part Two: The Sun shines bright in the Clear Blue Sky.

“I know you,” said Bridge. “You are the Wilson girl.
Mum says I should stay away from you. You are trouble.”
Tender laughed wondering what trouble she could possibly cause.
My name is Tender pleased to meet you.
My name is Bridge. Stupid name really.
They chatted for a time and the rain eased and the Sun came out.
“Guess I better be going “ said Tender .
“Oh can’t you stay a bit longer it might rain again.” said Bridge.
“No I wouldn’t want to cause you any trouble.”
So they rode off in opposite directions not knowing
if they were capable of the most stupendous love story the World had ever known.
