Reread the second
paragraph on page 245. The
author says, "If the horses

Circle each incorrectly spelled word in this diary entry. Write
the words correctly in your notebook.
I like to read about the old West. There are great
stories about the cullture of the ranchers and
cowboys. I like to imagine what it would be like to
galop away on a mustang. Cowboys and cowgirls
faced danger often. They could be lost in a valey or
caught in a blizzerd. Even in a safe place, they could
be hurt by a fragmment of stone thrown from a
horse's hoof. The wide and empty range must have
felt like the cowboy's emmpire.
