			The Talking Box

			By Felix Sagittarius



	The ride to Doc Malcolm's home and large animal hospital only took twenty minutes - but I was overjoyed to get out of that trailer! I had only been a horse for a few hours, thanks (?) to the Martian Flu, and I was not yet used to the way I had to balance on four feet, let alone in a trailer. Every bump, stop, and start caused me to bang around inside that tin box, so when Doc Malcolm lowered the tailgate, I all but leaped out!

	After they had taken a number of pictures of me using the box both in the barn and in the pasture, they prepared to leave. I walked over to the car with them, then Mr. Shaynes stopped, seeming to remember something. He said, "James, do you have any recordings of you talking? I know it's unusual, but I thought I'd ask."

I walked over to the car with them, then Mr. Shaynes stopped, seeming to remember something. He said, "James, do you have any recordings of you talking? I know it's unusual, but I thought I'd ask."

	I looked at him in astonishment. <Why, yes, I do, at my home. I used to volunteer to read stories and books aloud for the Talking Books for the Blind Project, and kept copies for myself. They're on tapes in my den. Why do you ask?>		I looked at him in astonishment. < Why, yes, I do, at my home.

	"I've got an idea. I won't go further, as it may not work, but I need them." he said. "Can I get your house keys?"		"I've got an idea. I won't go further, as it may not work, but I need them." he said. "Can I get your house keys?"

	<Of course,> I replied, and nosed at the pouch they were in.

	He laughed with delight. "I can't even guess, but having you just ask that question like that, to talk again - I'm almost overwhelmed!"		He laughed with delight. "I can't even guess, but having you just ask that question like that, to talk again - I'm almost overwhelmed!"

	I realized what I'd just done - to simply talk again! I shook my head, then gave a snicker. <Doc, you may regret this - you may have trouble shutting me up!>		I realized what I'd just done - to simply talk again!

	By now, I knew the sound of Martin's Cadillac, and when I heard it down on the road, I raced over to the gate, and was standing by the house when they pulled up. Doc had seen me coming, realized what that meant, and was passing through the back door. I was dancing with anticipation, and I pulled out the (by now heavily dented and scarred) piece of oak board and set it down.

	Doc laughed, and said, "He means it too! He's been talking with everybody here, and then someone fed him a carrot. He's pestered my poor wife almost to distraction, and she finally told him if he put his head in her kitchen again, she'd crown him with a frying pan!"		Doc laughed, and said, "He means it too!

He's pestered my poor wife almost to distraction, and she finally told him if he put his head in her kitchen again, she'd crown him with a frying pan!"

	That got a laugh from everyone.

I drooped my ears to the sides and lowered my head, then said, mournfully, < I apologized for that, and I've hardly asked her at all since... >

	"No, but what you've done to my poor orchard!" the Doc said. "He almost stripped the lower limbs of a couple of apple trees! He's been a different horse since you left that box on him!"		"No, but what you've done to my poor orchard!" the Doc said. "He almost stripped the lower limbs of a couple of apple trees! He's been a different horse since you left that box on him!"
