The Town Of Tahlequah

When Billy goes to get his dogs in Tahlequah. He goes by some boys on a school playground. They were making fun of Billy because he had a dirty farm boy look to him instead of looking like a clean city boy. When Billy finally got to the post office he had already been laughed at, stared at, and made fun of many times. He found though that the mailman was a nice man. The mailman gave him the puppies. He cut two holes for the puppies mouths in the flower bag that Billy brought from home to carry the dogs in. After Billy said thanks and got the puppies all settled he then walked through the town. He was laughed at and stared at even more. Then a boy from the school pulled one of Billy's dog's whiskers. Billy got in a fight with a bunch of boys. Billy was getting beat up. Then Billy saw two shoes next to his face and they were Marshal shoes. Billy had heard stories about Marshals; how Marshals killed people all the time, even if they didn't do anything wrong. Billy thought he was in BIG trouble, but instead the Marshal was a savior to Billy. He told the boys wrestling Billy to get off of him and stay out of trouble. This was a big surprise to Billy. The Marshal then asked if Billy was okay. Billy said he was fine. The Marshal offered Billy some pop and Billy said yes. So they drank some pop and then Billy was on his way home. And while Billy was walking home he discovered that he didn't want to be a city boy because city boys were cruel. That is as far as I am going to write tonight. And as I always say KEEP TUNED AND KEEP READING

The Dog-Wanting Disease

  I've been reading Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls for a couple days. So far it has been a wonderful book. The first chapter is about Billy, who as an adult, rescues a red hound from a dog fight. The dog reminds him of his childhood so he tells of his childhood in many other chapters. I happen to be reading his childhood.

Billy lives in Northeastern, Oklahoma. He is a 10 year who goes through a horrible "dog-wanting disease." Every kid gets it, but Billy's was worse than any other. Billy wanted two hunting hounds. His parents couldn't afford $100 worth of dogs. Billy soon found an ad for 2 hunting hounds for only $50 in a magazine. They were in Kentucky though, but Billy could have the mailman carry them all the way to Tahlequah, but that was the farthest he would go. Billy decides he will save his money for the dogs. His Grandpa helps Billy earn money. In only two years, Billy saved $50  by selling fishing bait, hides, and much more. Billy snuck out of his house one night and headed for Tahlequah. He got his puppies, but he went through some tough times in the town of Tahlequah. You'll have to read the book to find out what more happens. KEEP TUNED AND KEEP READING!
