Another lovely morality tale by Louisa May Alcott. She clearly was fascinated by the moral, physical, and emotional lives and upbringing of boys and girls as they make the transition from youth to young adulthood. Sweet! (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316030872, Paperback)

I've drove elephants and camels, ostriches and grizzly bears, and mules, and six yellow ponies all to oncet. May be I could manage cows if I tried hard, answered Ben, endeavoring to be meek and respectful when scorn filled his soul at the idea of not being able to drive a cow.
