That dang crik is a juggie magnit...Done fell in 3 times! Problem is, when you fall in the dang thing, you cain't git yursef out! The banks is to steep and the water is a movin to fast. Git washed plum down to that dang lake with the Sues ever time.
Well, I dint reely fall in 3 times. It's kind of a long story...Muh dog came back....You no, the one that done run off back down the road....Well, he finly figured out that even ifn he dont be likin the vittles I be givin him, at least they is vittles...He done lost a passel of meet ofn his bones.....Skinny!
Anyhow, when he came back, I din't no bout it at first.....
I was a bein reel carefull and gittin down on muh hans and nees to go down to the river and git me a drink. Do any of you guys no just how cold a dogs nose is when its bout a hunert degrees out side? Well its purty cold, I can tell you! Dang dog snucked up behind me and nosed me just bout the time I was a puttin muh hed down to the water to git muh drink. I done went purt near haf way across the dang crik in the air! Then I had to just go along with the crik till it put me out in that dang lake, clime out and then walk cleer back up along the bank to the road. Takes just about all day to do it.
Finly got back to the road and had me a talk with clyde (that is what I done named muh dog). Clyde kinda stands back away frum me now. Anyway, we got to walkin and started cross this big ol brige over the crik....I was just walkin along, mindin to muh own busnis when I heerd this loud sound a comin frum ahind me. There was this big ol truck a comin rite at me....The driver werent lookin at all! He was lookin at somethin inside the truck.......Dang thing woulda kilt me ifn I dint jump over the side of the brige......... Went cleer down to the dang lake agin and then walked back to the road agin... Well, almost to the road agin....
Got bout tweny feet from the road, rite along the bank and I just kinda tripped over a big ol rock and fell in agin...Back to the lake and walkin agin..... At leest you cain't say I dont be learnin stuff along the way tho.... This time, when I got to the lake, I done got muhsef out on the other side of the crik and then when I walked back up to the road I was on the other side of the crik from where I was afore...... Purty smart, huh?
Clyde had done jumped over the side of the brige to, when the truck came along....When he got to the lake, he done found him some new fren and done run off with em......I just bout think it was good that he run off.... I don't want to have to be a worryin bout anybudy but muhsef for a while........
I dont think I will be a comin back any time soon to that dang crik!
I figure that the onliest reeson that there are so many peeple livin at that lake of all the Sues, is that they was all washed down there so many times they just done give up!
