One time Bob took a couple of green herders and there green dogs and headed for Joseph to bring home a band of ewe Iambs. "You know", said Roscoe. "he was going to bring them home with those green herders and I didn't think he could do it." So Roscoe says "you better take me along." But Bob said "You do what I have you doing, you finish that and I'll get along." Old Roscoe hurried and finished what he was doing and he worried about Bob and the green herders and that band of ewe lambs. It took him two days to finish what he was doing and he took his two dogs and struck out a foot over the mountains to meet Bob Thompson, the green herders, the green dogs and the ewe Iambs. Well, he walked to meet those dogs and those sheep and he met that band of lambs at Enterprise, 12 miles from Joseph. It took him 2 days to walk the 120 miles. His dogs were foot sore, Roscoe wasn't, and the green herders were sure glad to see htm. Yep, Old Roscoe could do the impossible. Next week: shoot the middle!
