47.2 Should there be a separate event for Snopes finding the bicycle pump? He doesn’t do so until the next day.\

Checked 12/27/2016

Summary: 

As Ab Snopes and Ratliff make their way home it starts to rain and they find shelter in an old barn. The rain causes the horse to change color, and what is more, when the horse slams into a wall it "deflates." Stamper had put a "bicycle pump valve under its hide" and inflated it (48). The horse they traded was, in fact, Beasley Kemp's horse, which Ab had traded earlier that day.
