My thanks go out to those who helped me in various ways to get this book published. Writing the stories is the beginning of the process. After that, there is a multitude of other work that has to be done. This was done by my lovely wife Gloria, my neighbors, Bob and Betty and my teenage friend from church, Ashley. And a special thanks to our very dear friend Denise, without whom this book would not have been properly edited.
Charlie Crow and Willie
the Prairie Dog
Story 1
2.jpgOut on the eastern plains of Colorado, where fields of wheat sway gently in the summer breeze and cattle graze on pastures of grass, there are colonies of prairie dogs that live in prairie dog towns. These towns have many little burrows in which the prairie dogs live. All the prairie dogs stay in their own towns and are quite content. Not Willie! He dreamed of leaving his town to explore the world. When any animal came by or a bird flew over the prairie dog town, all the prairie dogs ran for cover, except for Willie the Prairie Dog. He had to see what was going on. Mama and Papa Prairie Dog always told him that it was dangerous if he didn’t run for cover. They wanted Willie the Prairie Dog to be safe. After running into his den every time something was going on, he got bored. He started staying on the edge of his den so he could see what was happening. He found out there were all kinds of things going on. There were coyotes roaming around, also many jack rabbits, cottontail rabbits and even a snake once in a while. Many birds flew over as well. Meadow larks sang a beautiful song at dawn which woke Willie up. He was always the first one up. All the rest would lazily sleep until later in the morning.
Willie the Prairie Dog also made some friends; Billy the Cottontail, and his most favorite friend of all, Charlie Crow. Since Charlie Crow was so smart, he talked for hours on end without stopping. By being able to fly great distances, Charlie Crow had seen a lot of things that Willie had no idea even existed. Charlie’s family lived all over the world. It was nothing like Willie the Prairie Dog’s little family that only knew what was going on in their little town. Charlie Crow knew of big cities where millions of people lived. Willie listened to Charlie’s stories over and over and never got tired of them. Charlie Crow knew a man that traveled on the railroad. He was what most people would call a hobo. Charlie Crow didn’t see him that way at all, he was quite the opposite as far as he was concerned. Oscar the Hobo didn’t have a job and he had no real home, but he had seen places that other people only dreamed of. One day Willie the Prairie Dog and Charlie Crow were talking and Willie the Prairie Dog told Charlie Crow that he hoped to travel, but didn’t see any way to do it. Charlie Crow thought he had an idea. He said, I’ll talk to some of my friends and see if they know where Oscar the Hobo is.
Several weeks passed by and Willie the Prairie Dog was getting upset. He was thinking precious time was going by and he was still sitting around doing nothing. Finally Charlie Crow returned and told Willie the Prairie Dog that Oscar the Hobo was on a freight train that was coming into the town, which was only a short distance away. The farmers and ranchers brought their cows and pigs and sent them off to market on the train. With that in mind, Charlie Crow said to Willie the Prairie Dog, If you are there when the train leaves, maybe you can get on.
Willie did just as Charlie Crow said. And before he knew it, he was in a box car and the train began to move. It wasn’t very long before Willie the Prairie Dog realized he had a big problem trying to ride with the cattle. They were so big and there wasn’t any room for Willie the Prairie Dog to lie down. Willie the Prairie Dog began to move from box car to box car until he finally found one that wasn’t closed. The door was open just enough for Willie the Prairie Dog to slide in. Once he was in the big box car he thought
