The Adventures of Joe Kirby

A tale By The Rat

A long time ago in the old wild west there lived two men named Joe and Tyson Kirby, who wore red plaid shirts, denim jeans and had freckles. Joe and Tyson were headed out west when one of their bulls, Arrow, died. So Joe used his powers, he can dig as fast as a dog and maybe faster, and he dug up a pit and put Arrow's head in it. Then it started to rain, and it rained for days, weeks, months, and the pit filled and filled and filled until it was as big as a lake! It had created Lake Arrowhead. But the rain kept on going. Eventually the town of Quimbawe had no sun. People were dying because they needed sunlight to survive. Joe felt responsible. So Tyson climbed up the mountain dragging Joe along. When they reached the pinnacle they lassoed the cloud away from the sun. The town cheered. Today you can still hear the sound of their cheering and smell pizza from their party.
