Story 109

The Horse Thief

“I will be brief,” said Big Bull, the Sioux Indian chief. “It is my firm

belief that we must scalp the horse thief. He steals our ponies and

sells them as beef.

“He has brought us nothing but grief. He will never turn over a new leaf,

so only his death will spell relief!”

Story 110

No More Leeks

Zeke, the Greek, worked for an Arabian sheik. He managed to eke out
a meek existence selling onions called leeks.

Working this job week in and week out, made his clothes reek.

Over time his stink stunk so much his sleek chic Monique would angrily
shriek. She refused to give him so much as a kiss on his cheek.

Terribly disturbed, he threw his clothes into a creek and told the

sheik– a new job he would seek !
