"Ma Pettengill" by Harry Leon Wilson is a funny story set on a lively ranch, starring the unforgettable Ma Pettengill, a tough woman who loves to knit and always has a clever comment ready. The story shows the daily happenings of the ranch, how everyone gets along, and Ma's funny views on everything from meals to proper behavior. It kicks off with a peek into life at the Arrowhead ranch on a typical unexpected Sunday, where Ma is knitting away and teaching the men how to knit as part of the war effort. With funny talk between the cowboys and Ma's smart remarks, we see she’s both caring and in charge, setting the stage for a series of entertaining and funny events.
