A COWBOY NAMED BILL

by Clara O.

 

Once upon a time there was a tough strong cowboy and he ruled the West.  But one day Indians came to the Wild West.  The cowgirls and cowboys saw

them first.  They attacked them and won.  But they had other problems.

The bank money had been stolen!

So, everybody had to pay taxes and more taxes and more until no one

had any more money.  So the tough strong cowboy (his name was Bill) went

to find money.

One day he found a small village.  So he asked them if they had any money to share.

A man rode up to him and said, “We have one hundred dollars.”

Bill said, “Great!”

So, he took the money and left.

But on his way back he got attacked by wolves.  He fired his gun

and they ran away.

When Bill got back the bad guys wanted to fight with Bill.  One…two…three!  The fight was on!

Bill got shot in the arm.  But Bill shot in the leg.

“I surrender,” said the bad guy. And he gave money.
