Story 57

The Brave

Little Hawk was an Indian brave who did not like the way the
White Man did behave. So with tomahawk, he gave wave
after wave of settler a close shave. Save for their scalps, he
buried them in a mass grave within a mountain cave. Now this
gave White Man his reason to rave.

Story 58

Really Fazed

When the barn of Farmer Hayes went ablaze, he stood in a daze, eyes glazed,
watching the structure being razed.

Luckily, his animals were out to graze, for in the smoky haze their stalls would’ve
been a maze. Nevertheless, Hayes became crazed. From then on he would only
blankly gaze.

Story 59

Praise the Lord

While riding in a horse-drawn chaise the minister prays for
words to put into a proper phrase which will give the Lord due praise.
He hopes to upraise those wayward strays who are in a
sinful phase and who might e•ter•nal•ly braise.
