fred13 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I THINK YOU GOT IT.. but ?readied? what u mean with the word readied? that is just a word that can replace "sadlled up and untied". Its the same ase "prepared". Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/24689-homework-help/#findComment-322439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timp Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I THINK YOU GOT IT.. but ?readied? what u mean with the word readied? I think by readied he means like he made the horse ready to ride.

MarkB Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Welcome to the MVPMods Homework Help section. Whatever happened to asking your parents or friends for advice? Asking your teacher for a further explanation or help? Fish for a man and he'll be able to feed himself for the day. Teach a man how to fish and he'll be able to feed himself and his family for evermore. (Oh, and personally, I'd prefer "The cowboy fucked off on his horse", but that would mainly be to bug the living crap out of the school staff. ) Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/24689-homework-help/#findComment-322774 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroEric Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I'm not quite sure what you've blanked out there, but we composition teachers are always tempted to use the old example of, "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse," to stress the importance of proofreading.
