Seemed like a long time I sat there, looking at the firelight on that money. I'd never seen that much money before but it didn't look like money to me; it looked like Pa sweating over his fields back in Missouri, and like all the word we'd done, by day and night, rounding up those cattle and putting brands on them. It looked like all those folks around us who shared the drive with us . . . that money was there for them.
