                         am very mad at Eagle. Will you yell 
                         at him for me?" Coyote said to Pony, 
                         "Why can you not yell yourself?" And 
                         Pony replied, "Because I am a little 
                         horse."

                         Well, I guess we all learned that South 
                         Park is more than just a town. It's 
                         a community that nobody can split up.
