Cory: Our last stop in Virginia was Grayson Highlands State Park. Lots of people told Mom that we should go there because the park has wild ponies. Lark: I didn’t see any wild ponies. Cory: There’s a reason for that. Remember how for the last seven months you have been telling everyone that you would kill a deer or a buffalo or even a bear? How you are “one with the wolves”?
