Entry 787
There was a driver that his master owned and he used to drive him about, and one night he stole the horses. The next morning he called his master up. His master got up and came to the door and asked, "What do you want?" "Master, somebody stole the driving horses." While his master told him to go and hunt for them, he went off a little ways and he stopped and turned round and said, "Master, I'm a fortune-teller. I hate to tell you I know where them horses is." His master told him, "If you can tell me where them horses is and get them, I'll make you have an easy time." He spit in his hand and said, "Master, whichever way this spit flies, the horses is that-a-way." He had put them there. He goes out there and gets the horses and he comes back and says, "Here's your horses." The master said, "I'm going to make you my boss for the rest of the slaves." He went on and was the boss of the slaves for his master's work.
