Pretty soon Mr. Parry told Henry he thought he would sooner walk. Henry thought that was pretty funny because he was so used to doing this that it didn't hother him a bit. itJill says the reason they had so many halky horses was because Lehi let his children drive and work with them.

The horse started to buck and carry on as only an unridden horse will do, and there were quite a few trees and hushes around to add to the problem. One of the hovs said, "Mother hollered to Willard - 'Get off! Get off !' Father yelled, 'Stay with him! Stay with him !' Keedless to say, Willard stayed with him for he knew his dad meant what he said. .-\nother illustration of the difference between the two, was the way they handled their children in certain situations. Father would say, 'Now. l want you to go get a load of lumber,' and would never cherk to see if we were taking a chain, axe or any of the essentials. He'd just tell us to go. Mother would sneak out to see that we had every thin:. She would check every detail and see that nothing was missin:." Lehi gave the orders and Henrietta took care of the details. Lehi had the idea that they'd learn a darn good lesson if they were left to do things on their own and Henrietta would get the gruh hox ready and check everything hy going over the whole outfit, including the hrakes and axles. Lehi couldn't have gotten along without the wife he had. They seemed to offset earl1 other and cornpliment cach other in every aspect. One man. Dave Bulloch, said that if he had a wife like Lehi's he'd he a millionaire over and over again hemuse she was such a p o d manager and could run things herself without the help of a man.
