The Stranger

A shiny black Mercedes drives along a winding dirt road on a clear Monday morning. Two buildings come into sight surrounded by flat acres of grass. Next to the road that leads to the buildings is a dusty old sign that reads, in faded letters, Steamboat Stables. The car turns onto the path and accelerates toward the houses.The dust settles as the Mercedes pulls up in front of an old barn. The deep thump of the car door shutting briefly interrupts the silence as a man dressed in a sports jacket and jeans steps out.He barely stands taller than his car as he fixes his hair in the side mirror. Feeling satisfied with his look he casually saunters toward the open barn door.
Rosemary, Jennifer and Buttercup had just been gossiping about the stallions as a stranger stepped into view. Rosemary, the most attentive of the three horses spied him first.
"Someone better call the fire department cause that boy is just too hot."
"Where?" said both Jennifer and Buttercup in unison as they craned their necks around their stalls.
"Oh, I hope he's a jockey cause i can't wait to get him on my back." exclaimed Buttercup
"You can say that again." agreed Jennifer

The stranger slowly walks through the barn looking for...

A. The Manager Or B. A Bathroom
