ep196 The Law of the Golden Rule

Ranger 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. Howdy boys and girls. Say, what would you think of a man who wouldn't show kindness and consideration in business, but expected it to be shown to himself when he got in a spot?

I think we agree this individual needs to be taught a lesson. When our Lord gave his sermon on the Mount, he said, Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. But a certain man named Horace Butler never read the sermon on the Mount.

He never reads anything but dollar signs and mortgage notes. Let's find out how this mean and merciless man was taught a lesson he would never forget. Here's the story. The Law of the Golden Rule.

Our story opens at the small ranch of Knut Habsen. Not so far from Nadi Pine. His visitor is Horace Butler, the man who holds the mortgage on Knut's ranch. Yeah, well, how are you today, Horace?

Fine, thank you. Yeah, I've been quite the while since I've seen you last. You should wrap around and have a cup of coffee once in a while. I'm a businessman, can oot. I have work to do.

I don't have time for social calls. You see? Well, man has to have friends and talk better once in a while. Money is my friend. I see. Talking about money, can oot. I've been waiting for the annual installment on your mortgage note.
