Transcript

Warrior of the Woodland struggling against extreme awe, traveling dangerous trails, fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the Guardian of the Forest, Ranger Bill, pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions.

Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. Here that sound. Those are sounds that come from the forest and mountain wilderness during a bitterly cold spell. It's 30 below zero out there. That's too cold for manor beast.

But the ice jams and cracks and glaciers are on the move. And we're going to have to go out in that refrigerator before this story's over. Well, what do you say we drop out to see a friend of mine at one of the large lumber camps near Naughty Pine.

Big Frenchy Dussell and his men are sitting close by the fire these days, and they consume their idle hours with talk about everything under the sun. Hold on to your hats, because here we go with the story, the ice present.

Hey, lefty! We will not get any warmer by your watching this, so mama, yeah! Maybe I can stare at it long enough to make it warm up. Oh, flingy, you think it will not work. Only way to warm it up is bring it inside.

Or else go outside and hold a candle under it. As he's a momma, what's she saying? Still 30 below zero. Oh, Zany's too cold for anybody. Even Frenchy frees in weather like dog. These two call even for polar bears.

Ha ha ha ha. They need electric red flannels to keep them warm. Hey. What is it? It's a man. Yeah, and he's in bad shape. He must have fallen in water. Well, those stands are like logs.
