Mr. Buckingham was teased and rejected, but he had a surprise no one ever expected.
He longed to dance at the annual rodeo, but it wasn't a tap dance show.
So Mr. Buckingham crafted a dance routine sure to amuse and four sparkling U-shaped tap-dance shoes.
He entered into the bucking horse rodeo where he hoped to get first in show. He needed something to make his confidence grow.
Mr. Buckingham tapped, and he danced until the music paused. There was gazillions of oohs and a bazillion aahs followed by a standing applause.
Although Mr. Buckingham was a shabby ole horse, with few friends to know, he indeed won the annual bucking horse rodeo.
