That your stock?
gpt
That's part of it.
human
And I pick my own mules?
gpt
Any you want.
human
I could wagon break six, but somebody else will have to polish 'em off.
gpt
What do you mean?
human
I'll break six to harness and teach them to pull together, gee, haw, stop, and back. It'll take more practice before they're really a fine team.
gpt
Why can't you make 'em fine?
human
I haven't got time.
gpt
Do I pay you before you start or after you finish?
human
After I finish. But I also want a clean place to camp and feed for my stock.

You've made yourself a deal. Drive into the meadow behind the corrals and make camp. There's a good spring rising under the apple trees, and it's far enough from the corrals so you won't get much smell.
