I mean, I believe that's our ring. I know his arm, I believe he's right. No, see. Hello, Johnum Downstone. This is Ramen Abner. And now, let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. When Lum fell off the platform, after the Prince's phony healing ceremony last night, he thought he had really broken his leg this time.
Fortunately, however, it was only a slight ankle sprain. And Lum was able to throw aside the bandages, the splints in the crunches. As we look in on the little community today, we find Glum and Dabner in their Joffin Down store, and from their conversation, it is apparent that the squire and the prince are losing no time
in promoting their healing racket. Listen, you're $100. I don't think Grandma Masters have got that much money. Well, she's bound to determine she's gonna raise it long. In fact, says she's willing to do anything to get that broke hip or her healed up.
Yeah, blame her for that, but that seems awful high. Special with the little amount of work the prince has to do. Just mumble a few words and weigh these arms around here. Yeah. He ought to do it for nothing.
Poor woman, as suffered as much as she has. Why sure you are too. Looks to me like you paid him enough for everybody to get him to come down here. How much is he charging Davis's to heal up their little boys broke arm?
Well, they're making him a special process. Just $50 I think it is. On account for being under 12 years old, you know. I don't know. I'd like to see all these folks healed up all right, but it does seem like them prices is awful expensive.
