Pages : 26
Book Description
A One-Eyed Horse in a One-Horse Town is a magical tale based on the true story of a blind horse. A family is not sure what to do when their beloved old horse, Smokey, begins to lose his eyesight. Putting the horse down is not an option, but neither is boxing him up to a life in a stall. The family decides to place a radio next to Smokey's stall, hoping that the horse will use his ears instead of his eyes to not only navigate freely around his pasture, but to also follow the music back to the safety of his barn. In the challenge of adjusting to life without sight, the old horse inadvertently thwarts the attempts of a greedy land developer from taking his pasture, and also wins the hearts of the townsfolk.

Book Description
Al is back, bumbling along as usual with his side-kick Chuck, trying to make sense of feuds, other people's relationships as well as his own, and doing a bit of meditating while fishing on the side. Al has been wading for quite some time in whichever river it is he's in, but this time he's way over his head trying to reconcile love in the making, unseen break-ups, life and death, and his own relationship with his wife. To complicate things, Al has been having a difficult time understanding where he is, past, present or future. Come on back to Dobbins, the almost tiniest town in Montana, where you'll find that life there can be as complicated, and reassuring, as life anywhere else.Emotional, honest, and of course with Smith's dry humor, One Horse Town is a touching ride through a tiny town, its inhabitants and the effects of real-life events that touch us all.

Speaking of Animals
Author: Robert Palmatier
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313368384
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 497
Book Description
No other nonhuman source has served as the basis for more metaphors than animals. Speaking of Animals is a dictionary of animal metaphors that are current in American English. It is comprehensive, historical, and metaphor-based. Each entry refers to the other dictionaries that catalog that same metaphor, and the dates of first appearance in writing are supplied, where possible, for both the metaphor and the name of the source. The main text is organized alphabetically by metaphor rather than by animal or animal behavior; all the metaphors are classified according to their animal source in a list at the end of the book. An animal metaphor is a word, phrase, or sentence that expresses a resemblance or similarity between someone or something and a particular animal or animal class. True metaphors are single words, such as the noun tiger, the verb hog, and the adjective chicken. Phrasal metaphors combine true metaphors with other words, such as blind tiger, hog the road, and chicken colonel. Other animal metaphors take the form of similes, such as like rats leaving a sinking ship and prickly as a hedgehog. Still others take the form of proverbs, such as Don't count your chickens before they hatch and Let sleeping dogs lie. The horse is the animal most frequently referred to in metaphors, followed closely by the dog. The Bible is the most prolific literary source of animal metaphors, followed closely by Shakespeare.
