Hop Sing was a cook on the Ponderosa Ranch.

All the cowboys loved to poke fun at him because, being Chinese, he had a pigtail and wore a funny hat. He also couldn’t speak English very well. The cowboys used to put live snakes and frogs in his bed and pulled on his pigtail, just to tease him. Hop Sing, however, never complained and kept on working. He was a good sport.

One day, the cowboys got together and said: “This Hop Sing is really a nice guy, we shouldn’t be so mean to him.” They decided to apologize to him for the many years of abuse.

So they went to Hop Sing as a group and said: “Hop Sing, we are very sorry for being so mean to you throughout the years. You are really a nice guy. From now on, we are going to be nice to you. There will be no more pigtail-pullin’ and there will be no more snakes in your bed.”

“Good, good,” said Hop Sing, overjoyed, “no more snake in the bed, no more pee in the soup!”
