It was black outside, but the moon was bright . We were up at the goat shed and then we heard a bull elk bugling. I had my elk call, so I bulged back at him. Me and mom went in the trees. And I bulged .
And when he bulged he was a little closer.
Then I picked up a stick and I raked it up and down a tree and let out a
big bugle. And then he let out a bugle saying ‘Im coming to fight ‘’. So I bulged back .
And when the next time he bugled he was closer and he got closer and closer . And me and mom were by a tree. And the next time he bugled
he was so close that mom said she could feel his bugle. And she said “how close do you want him?”
“Right there.” I said .
And mom ran to the other side of the trees. I went farther away. But mom thought “ I cant leave her their” So she crawled on her hands and knees too me. The next time he bugled he was faraway. We never did see him that night. But wow that was an exiting night.
Morels and turkeys
One day when we were morel hunting with the dogs ( Odyssey and Shasta ). We were in the trees when we heard a turkey gobble. So me and mom
separated. Mom took Odyssey and I took Shasta. I did the female turkey call . And he answered back . I was in a hole with Shasta. But then Shasta went to mom . Right in front of me was a pile of dirt and on that pile of dirt was a very little morel . We Called for a while but then we stopped and went morel hunting again.
Turkey road home.
On the way home from town at a old farm there were three male turkeys all fanned out. And once again I did a female turkey call .
One of the toms was slowly coming to the car, gobbling as he went . Boy seeing the turkeys gobble and seeing them all fanned out , it was a site .
The giving of Thanksgiving.
written by Emily Barbe
Frank Wilson was an owner of the towns library.
On his way to work he found five dollars on the
sidewalk, so he picked the five dollars up and put it in a separate place in
his pocketbook. He went in his library
and went on about his business.
Later that day a little girl walked in. With bare feet she walked up to the desk
. “excuse me sir?, have you seen five
dollars?, because that’s all the money that we have and I need to buy food for
my family for thanksgiving”. She said
half quietly with tears in her eyes.
“Yes
I have ’’ said Frank as he pulled out the money. “But I have a question, are you and your
family homless?” He asked.
“Yes” she
quietly said.
Can I meet your parents?” Frank asked, “follow me” she
said. So he closed up the library and
followed the little girl to a tree with big slices of cardboard hanging from
the limbes for heat and shelter.
“You and your parents live in this?” he asked, she answered
“yes sir”. Then Frank remembered that he
didn’t know her name. “Whats your name?” he
asked “Lillya” she answered. “what a
beautifull name” Frank said with a smile.
“Thank you sir” she said as she and Frank walked in. “Pa, Ma. I want you two to meet Frank Wilson”
she said “well what can we do for you?” said her pa. “well I would like you and your family to
come to my house for thanksgiving dinner” Frank said. “well I I I I I don’t know what to say” Lillyas
father said stutteringly. “say yes”
Frank answered. “well then yes , oh and
my name is Noah Serl, but you can call me Noah”. “Ok,uh Noah, Come to this address”, as he
handed Noah a piece of papper. Noah
replied “thank you so much” “no problem” Frank answered as he walked out.
So at 4:00 Noah and his wife Emma and Lillya knocked on
Franks door. “Come on in” Frank said as
they were coming in the house. As they
walked though the house they could smell the wonderfull food cooking in the
kitchen. Frank broke the sillence “well
while the food is cooking, lets go to your threes room”. “what room?” asked Noah. “the room that you three are going to stay in
until one of you get a job and buy a house”.
Frank answered. “O you didnt have
to do that” said Noah “ no I didn’t, but I wanted to, your room is all ready,
and your new clothes are waiting on the two beds”Frank exclamed. The three of them had to pick up there jaws
off the floor. They were silent until
Franks wife said “its ready”.
As they sat down Frank said “ lets pray” as they all bowed
there heads Frank prayed “Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for this meal that
you set before us, and thank you for our new friends , bless them and Love
them, and we thank you for your son Jesus Christ, we come to you through Jesus
Amen.
