» Slue Foot Sue was a real Texas cowgirl. She didn't settle for riding horses though; she would ride a catfish ? down the river, whooping and hollering the whole way. Once, Sue fell off a horse, and was wearing one of them big, ol' hoop skirts. Each time she hit the ground, her springy skirt sent her back up into the air. Higher and higher she went ? She felt like she'd be bouncing forever. Sue wept, and her tears ? creating a rainstorm. Finally. Pecos Bill came along and lassoed her down, and the two rode off into the night.
