Two cowboys were riding hard across the range when one of their horses
dies from dehydration, so they both get on the one remaining horse and
continue riding. In a few minutes, the one at the back shouts that an
Indian is following.
"How big is he?"
Holding his hands about 12 inches apart, the one at the back says,
"This high."
In a few minutes, the one at the front asks, "Now how big is he?"
The cowboy at the back replies, holding his hands 3 feet apart, "This
high."
A few minutes later the front cowboy asked again, "How big is he now?"
Holding his hand 6 feet above the ground, the rear cowboy replies,
"This high."
So the front cowboy yells, "Quick! Grab my pistol and shoot him!"
Holding his hands 12 inches apart again, the one on the rear replies,
"I can't do that, I've known him since he was this high."
