"Cowboy" a little late

I really liked this story. This story wasn't something that we usually have read. It was a story actually about normal people and not just a cowboy. This story was easier to read than most of the other stories we have read.I don't get why the older woman was so mean to the man. She has no reason to be mean to him. I felt the cowboy appreciated what this older woman and man did for him because they gave him a place to work. I was sad for him when the old lady died because he was upset because she gave him a life and she had passed away.
