The Road to Fame

Danger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, 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. All of us have dreams of grandeur at one time or another in our lives, and it happens particularly when we're young folks.

Some call it hero worship, some call it daydreaming, but call it what you may, we all do it at one time or another. Some dream they're going to be a great preacher, a great doctor, others dream they might be a great general or statesman.

Still others dream of being famous missionaries or teachers. In other words, we dream of being famous. Then, as life goes along, we realize that we can't all be chiefs. Most of us have to be Indians.

But it's because of our dreaming that we sometimes become problems. And that's what we're going to contend with in our story today. I like to call it the road to fame. Hell, here's a complaint about young Todd Dalgrin again.

Now, let's see up to this time. He's hunting on the foster land where no hunting's allowed and the place is posted too. That young man's gonna be the death of his shirt yet. What a matter what.

Hey, that's a good question, Carol. I think he needs the seat of his britches, dusted with a playing. Too late for that now. Father should have done it 10 years ago. Gotta go out and pick him up, Pat.
