My horse would race to the asparagus growing along the banks and eat it like candy.

One day I saw the asparagus before he did, tied him to a stump and tried raw wild asparagus for the first time in my life. It is delicious, I think much better than cooked.

My horse was much smarter than I was then.

Still miss that horse.
