you I was going to bring down sixteen deer, twenty bears, two hundred
wild turkeys, a boatload of wolves, and--" "Phew, Whopper! Every time you name 'em over the list gets longer!" cried Charley Dodge. "If you bring down so much game there won't be anything left for other hunters." "Well, I'll leave you a bear or two," said Whopper cheerfully. "Thanks awfully." "Leave me one lone wild turkey, Whopper dear," came mournfully from Shep Reed. "Say, if you're going to talk like that I won't leave anything," burst out Frank. "Whopper may bring down all the game, but I'll wager he can't throw a snowball as straight as I can," said Charley, taking up some snow. "See that spot on the fence yonder? Here goes for it!" The snowball was launched forth with swiftness and with a thud struck the spot directly in the center. "Hurrah! A bull's-eye for Snap!" "Humph! I can do that too!" cried Whopper, and forthwith proceeded to make a good hard snowball. Then he took aim, let drive, and the ball landed directly on the top of the one Charley had thrown. |
