Adam and Hoss Cartwright were in the Bucket of Blood saloon where they had to wait for their younger brother Little Joe. Just after a long time the youngest Cartwright brother came in.
“You took your time to get here”, said Hoss.
“Take it easy moody”, said Joe.
“Why are you so late?”, asked Adam.
“I am so late because there was a baseball game on the TV. And I know what the result is”, replied Joe.
He kept silent and looked at his brothers.
“Are you going to tell us yet or must we read it in the newspaper?”, asked Adam.
“You know that at this moment the World Baseball Classic is playing? Well, in San Juan that little baseball country The Netherlands had to take on the Dominican Republic. The final score is 2 for the Dominican Republic and 3 for The Netherlands in 9 innings”, told Joe.
“You are crazy. The Netherlands, that is that little country where they all walk on wooden shoes and have mills, ain’t it?”, asked Hoss.
“Indeed. But it is a very surprising score. So let’s drink to that on cost of our little brother”, replied Adam.
Hoss found that a good idea but Joe of course not.
