Like all fairy tales, they are stories with magical characters and events. Detailed Summary Beginning: Reba Jo was riding the range looking for something to lasso. Reba Jo came upon a dry river bed. Her daddy had warned her to stay away from these arroyos. He told her that a prairie storm could blow in quicker than a rattlesnake’s strike, causing a flash flood to rip true the river bed. The swift water would wash away anything or anyone in its way. Reba Jo knew she should turn back, but right at the edge of this gully she spied a vulture all fat and sassy sitting on top of a dried up well just daring her to toss her spinning rope around his long ugly neck.
