I agree with him, I believe that's our ring. I know this law, I believe you're right. No, see. Hello, Johnum Downstorm. This is Roman Abner. And now? Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge.
Well, Ervin the lion is still at large, but Lum, after reading a book on big game hunting in Africa, has organized a safari to capture the beast. Assisted by Abner and Cedric, Lum has established the first camp on the edge of town.
As we look in on the little community today, we find the big game hunters sitting in their tent. Listen. All right, Doggy's Lum, I'm getting tired of sitting here in this little old tent. This is an uncomfortable place I ever seen in my life.
Well, of course it is. You're supposed to suffer hardships when you're on a big game hunting expedition like this. Yeah, but why can't we go to your place and stay long? It'd be a heap more comfort suffering the hardships over there.
Yeah, but this is a safari, Abner. We can't sit around nowhere at my place if we're out on a safari. Well, I don't see what the difference is. It ain't over too hard down across the field, Ernie, or a place.
Ernie's, I don't believe you're much of an outdoors man, Abner. Ah, Ernie's, I'm having a time of my life. Well, if I'm gonna camp out, I want to at least get out of the edge of town to do it.
All we do is just sit here in this tent and keep sending Cedric out to look for the line. Well, you sit there and read that jungle book by Sir Alawesus. Sir, Alawesus is his name.
