In literary terms, the setting of a story refers to the time and place where events in the story occur. Some words in the passage above gives the reader an idea of the place where the events in the story took place. The reference to the ranch which is a place where large animals like horses and cattle are reared helps the reader to know the setting of the story.

The response of the woman when asked the name of the ranch, which she answered as Limon also gives us the knowledge of the particular ranch where the plot was set.
