Kimi and her parents were taken to a clothing store and each were given jeans, a fancy cow boy hat, and boots.

They then went to the Duke of Tumble Weed's ranch. Kimi thought the Duke would be happy, but he looked very sad.
"Your Highness, why are you so sad?"
"Shush, don't be so rude," said Kimi's father.

The Duke stood up. "She's not rude. I called for you to come help me. My son Hank is being held prisoner by the awful fire breathing bull." "I will stop him," Kimi said.
"Whole armies can't stop him," the Duke said. "How can you?"

Kimi's parents grew very tired and fell asleep in their chairs.

"I guess I'll do it myself." The Duke left to find the bull.
Kimi followed him out down the dusty road. She passed a water pump and a stack of tin cans.
