The Ballad of Pete and Joe

Here are the stars of the story:



Joe (left), Sheriff Pete (middle), and the Ghost of Cactus Bill (right).



Sheriff Pete said "Joe. We need to trade with the Indians, but we'll have to go through the ghost town".

"The ghost town!" cried Joe. "But that's where the ghost of Cactus Bill is!"



Twenty miles later, they came to the ghost town.

"This is the place where the Great Fire occurred. That's why all the town is black." said Joe.



"Let's rest by this cactus" said Sheriff Pete.

And then, the Ghost of Cactus Bill attacked them.

"Help!!" yelped Joe and Sheriff Pete.

The Ghost said "I will imprison you in my jail."



"How do we get out of here?!" said Joe.

"I don't know if we can." said Sheriff Pete.




"Let's push over here because we haven't yet." said Sheriff Pete.

And then when they pushed on the wall, it opened!



But then, the Ghost saw them and they started running.



"We have to split." said Sheriff Pete grimly. And then, they did.



"Let's go behind this rock!" said Joe.



"We can climb up the back..."



"...and pretend we are a monument built by the Indians!" said Joe.



"Smart plan, Joe! We get to trade with the Indians!" said Sheriff Pete excitedly.

"We are trading for good things."
