The Raging Rapids

of the Woodland! Ranger Bill, warrior of the Woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, showing rare courage in the face of disaster, in the air, on horseback, or in a screaming squad car. Ranger Bill, his mind alert, a ready smile, unswerving, loyal to his mission. And all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job

Well done. But again, it's impossible. What's impossible, Stubby? Oh, I was just trying to tie the broken ends of this rubber band together. Oh, that shouldn't be so hard. Here, let me try. Sure, go ahead Henry, if you think you can.

Oh. Hey, this rubber band is covered with oil. No wonder it won't tie. I could have told you that if it asks, but you were too ready to just show me up. Well how did it get covered with oil?

Oh, I was using it to hold an oily rag around his here gadget, but it broke. I suppose oil rotted it or something. This sure is funny, trying to tie this ollie rubber band. I can't even keep hold of it and let alone make a nod.

No, no. Hey, what does this remind you of? I don't know. Maybe the way some folks try to get into heaven. Spend an all eternity trying to do something that can't be done. I was thinking of something we all did a couple of summers ago.

Does that give you a clue? I think I know what you're talking about, pal. I thought you'd remember, Bill. You're thinking of that canoe trip that was interrupted at camp, aren't you? Right. And you trying to make your way along?
