EATING

To give himself a treat Hoss Cartwright decided to eat something. At first this happened very quietly but then hell broke loose.

“What such a big bear is sitting there”, said a voice.

“I would like to eat something with him”, said another voice.

“I would love to frolic with him”, sounded from throat number 3.

The female owners of the voices started to giggle that it was a lovely delight. Hoss tried not to get disturbed by it but he felt three pair of eyes burning in his back. The giggle became worse so that Hoss stepped in.

“Dadburnit!”, he said out loud.

He got up and turned around. His fear was big when he saw the committers sitting. It were three young ladies and so beautiful that the night became pale by them. ‘This is of course another trick of Little Joe!’, he thought right away. Hoss was facing a dilemma: the ladies or the food. But he didn’t have to think about for long. Of course the food went first.

To get rid of the ladies Hoss picked up his food and went to sit at a safe place to fill his stomach. This helped because the ladies felt insulted and left him alone.
