ep011 The Loudmouth

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. In the book of Proverbs it says, He that hath knowledge, Spareth his words. Who so keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from trouble?

A lot of folks think they make a big impression when they run off with the mouth. Well, they make an impression all right, but not the kind they'd hoped for. If you think before you speak, you'll never have to be sorry for what you've said, and wish you could take the words back.

Now some folks speak evil of one another and gossip, others speak destructive criticism, and then there's the know-it-all. We're going to run across one of those in our story today. Let's meet him in the loud mouth.

Why are we heading back to town so soon? To meet the new ranger that's coming to us from school. Oh, a new ranger! You mean a tender feet! Tender feet, tender foot all the time.

What? This must be a new kind. You got only one foot. Oh, it's something. You're impossible. You ain't telling me nothing new, Sonny. When does this young whippersnapper show up? On the noon train. I wonder what he's going to be like.

Oh, but we all wonder, Henry. Well, let's get along, fellas. We don't have too much time to meet the train. You're a hush, man. Let's go, Joe. Boy, we got here just in time. Here comes the fireball express now.
