A poem.

Seeing as my story has reached the intermission, I decided that I would share a poem with you instead.

THE TONGUE
"The boneless tongue, so small and weak, can crush and kill" declared the Greek.

"The tongue destroys a greater horde," The Turk asserts, "than dies the sword."

A Persian proverb wisely saith, "A lengthy tongue-an early death;"

Or sometimes takes this form instead, "Don't let your tongue cut off your head."

"The tongue can speak a word whose speed," Says the Chinese, "outstrips the steed;"

While Arab sages this impart, "The tongue's great storehouse is the heart."

From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung, "Though feet should slip, ne'er let the tongue."

The sacred writer crowns the whole: "Who keeps his tongue doth keep his soul."
Philip B. Strong

Well that's all for now, see you tomorrow,

Hi,
I have found a video for you about the man who won the Olympic half pipe gold medal, and this is not from this year, nor from Olympics at all. I do not know what year this was taken from, but this guy is unbelievable. I will give you what I know about his history, and he has been doing this since he was 2, so don't try this at home. ;-)

I think that his mother died when he was about 2, and his father worked on the ski lift at some snowboard facility, and so instead of hiring a baby sitter, he just bought him a snowboard, and he has been snowboarding ever since, and just look what a LOT of practice can do.

Time to go,
Jacob

Story Chapter 10

That night they camped out in the woods, and in the morning they continued their ride into town. When they arrived in Clark, they went straight to the sheriffs office to report their arrival, as Frank was appointed to find Billy, and was told to report the local sheriff upon arrival.



"Hi, I am Frank Smith, and I am here to find Billy the Kid, and this is my new friend, James Larson." said Frank to the sheriff. "Glad you could come. He is causing a lot of trouble in this part of the country." said the sheriff, whose name was Sam Rogers. As they would be working together to find Billy, they each told each other what they knew.

Story Chapter 9

As Frank and James were riding towards the closest town, Clark, they came across this dead bear, fallen right in the middle of the road. Being rather hungry, and in need of provisions, they decided to stop, skin it, cut it up, and take it along with them.

As they were cutting it however, they found the bullet hole and, finding the bullet, they noticed that it was a 50. caliber bullet, the only size Billy the Kid uses. Concluding that Billy must be in Clark, they decided to sleep that night out in the woods, and then go into town the next day.

Story Chapter 8

Frank was riding towards Clark, looking for anybody that he could ask for any details about Billy's position. As he was riding closer to Clark, he stopped at a man's house, who just happened to be James Larson, and asked him if he had seen Billy The Kid.



James said that he had, and that he wasn't supposed to tell anybody about their meeting, but seeing that he was the law, he would risk it. James told Frank all about how Billy attempted to rob him, and what direction he had left in and that he would like to go with Frank if he was looking for Billy, so Frank deputized him and let him come along.

Story Chapter 7

Once Billy knocked, there was a little pause, and then someone opened the door just a crack and , seeing Billy, opened the door, pulled Billy in, shut the door and locked it. "Where have you been" said the man who was at the door, whose name was Larry Wolf. "I've been on the road into town" said Billy jokingly while taking a good look at his companions who were all laying around with their feet on the table.


Billy's plan was to use his miner disguise every time he went into public, so that nobody would know that it was him, and when he was done robbing the bank, in his miner disguise, he would junk it on the way out of town. But as Billy was sitting tight in the hotel, Frank was riding on Buck ever closer to the small, sleepy, little town of Clark.

Story Chapter 6

Upon arriving in Clark, Billy went to the hotel, as this was his gang's meeting place. Before he got into town, he disguised himself like a gold miner, as there were lots of gold mines around there. Once inside the hotel he said to the clerk that he was staying with friends in room 24 and that he would like the extra key.
The clerk gave him the key, saying that he wanted it back, and that his bill was $47 because his friends were there for a while already. Billy paid the bill, and soon disappeared up the steps, and as he found room 24, he gave a knock, paused, then gave two more, knowing that he really didn't need the extra key, but it was extra security against snoops.
