B- Hey Ranger, we're going to try some new food tonight.
R- New food is dangerous Beel. It can give you a belly ache.
B- LOTS of horses eat this food, Ranger. We call it "oats" and horses have eaten it for many, many years.
R- Lots of horses eat worm-paste too. And it is very bad.
B- Try some, buddy. You'll love it.
R- No.
B- Ranger, TREAT!
R- You have a treat? I will eat a treat.
B- There you go, Ranger. I know you will only eat a little the first time, so that's all I brought.
R- It is a good treat Beel. I will have some more now.
B- Sorry, buddy. Only a cup full of oats. The rest is for the other two horses.
R- I will eat their oats. Oats is a good treat.
B- Now, you leave their bowls alone. You NEVER eat this much of a new food! We will give you more oats tomorrow.
R- The cold white is starting to fall from the sky Beel. I will starve and freeze if I do not get more oats treat.
B- Tomorrow, my friend. Fill up on hay tonight.
R- Okay Beel. You will know where to find my bony and frozen body when the sun comes home tomorrow.
B- If you're still alive in the morning, I'll get you some more oats. We'll make a plow horse out of you yet.
R- If plow horses eat oats treats I will learn.
Hahahahahaha. I love your conversations with Ranger. They crack me up
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love it! You need to write a book on Ranger stories with you illustrations!
ReplyDeleteVery witty conversation, but surely not a plow horse.
ReplyDeleteI love Ranger stories, write a kid book with them, this one would teach kids to try new foods, sometimes they are so good you want more and new foods make you grow into maybe not a plow horse but a foot ball player.
ReplyDeleteperfect way to start my day!
ReplyDeleteYummmm, Oats and Black Oil Sunflower Seeds. Try those Ranger.
ReplyDeleteLoved this!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe he went for it....you MAY have created a monster. Thanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteDang it. You need to get with Jay and get a book made. Your illustrations are too perfect. I mean, you already have your own product line started courtesy of GunDiva and her mad towel skills :)
ReplyDeleteGlad Ranger figured out that oats were not bad. YUMMO!
:D
ReplyDeleteCrack for horses. Lol.
