Raintree County Page #2

What's up because of the tale

told by that idiot...

That expert in that calculated sanity?

Are you coming?

In the bad swamp, just because the

Professor put a barge on you about going

about the raintree?

Would you take care of this for me?

If you mind l take care this for you?

You can go right ahead, sprout.

Sure, Johnny, go right ahead.

Huh, don't hurry back, sprout

l hate when a thing like this happens

l never know how it happens.

Yeah, it's a whip of shame.

Well, Sir, but is it Johnny Seanacy?

More like Johnny Appleseed.

Ha, where have you been, sprout?

I'm walking.

Get in, Johnny, we'll take you home.

Come on, Johnny, get in back.

Poor boy, you look half drowned.

Was nearly all drowned.

You mean you look for that...

what's you call?

Yes, looking for the what'is you call.

Did you find it?

No

0h, what a whip of shame, sprout.

Poor pitiable harmless creature.

Johnny, tell me what happened.

Yes, sprout, tell us all about it, huh?

Well.

Boy, we'd like to tell us all about this.

I Doubt, when you tell our fellows

about it.

Huh?

L mean, say, you got the story straight

l entered the swamp like around here,

see... around that way.

What are you...

0h, excuse me, you're quite right

l entered the swamp this way and the

so flows kind of a line that way.

That's how he came over the swamp.

'You find that raintree?' l said.

'No' he said, 'l nearly drowned'

l figure that tried to cool his head,

But then she says... she says.

What did she say?

She said" what a poor pitiable

harmless creature".

What's going on, boys?

0h, hello, Dr. Seanacy.

We were just talking about

your son Johnny.

Flash purple.

Don't you know that your body is a temple

of the spirit?

And you defile and polluted with

that devil's brew you've there.

Why you say so, but...

Why don't you come around to our

next tempest rally,

Come around to take a total afternoon

to pledge

l'll take that pledge right now

0h, no... we want men to take pledge

only when they're sober.

But if they're sober, what's the sense

having the pledge taken place?

Wait, man... l want to testify that

l hanen't been drunk for 2 weeks

l drunk beer, wine and most of them

with all friends

l'm drunk here now this minute

l can't find a man who can drink

as much as l have walked straight and

l can still foot any man in this county.

Thank you now if you just...

mark a day and a hit town.

Stand at any corner and listen to the

jumper, the local anthropoid.

Steady...

l had hoped that this subject under discussion

was sufficiently elevated to engage my interest.

However...

Professor, we were just talking about

your most promising student,

Speak of angels and hear their wings.

Hm, not that promising student.

Ah, Mr. Gray and his charming wife.

How in the entire world of cross ability

did that chilly January win

such a blithesome May?

That reminds me...

Do you know the story about the old

judge who married a girl 18?

Sure, will yoy excuse me.

Ha...

0h, Pap...

Ha...

Wow, here comes the hero of

Raintree County

l guess he'll go again

for the gold raintree.

Ha...

Bob has been shooting his big fat mouth

again.

Yes, if you really want to be the hero

in Raintree County, all you gonna do

ls play the Flash Burgins

for the bare-foot race.

Flash Burgins?

So you're Johnny Seanacy.

Could be, who wants to know?

Do you hear that boys?

Should l tell this child here who l am?

Why don't you tell him, Flash?

Son, it gives me great peculiar satisfaction

and relegation to introduce to you and

these handsome and intelligent dummy that

l'm a gentleman

who's better known as Flash Burgins,

fastest runner in Raintree County.

Never heard of who is he.

Listen, child, it's me

l certify most of the runners in the

north and the south

before they're qualified for the

Games

l'm half horse and half the a**hole

in their spare time

l buzz the more skulls and rag more campus

and chase more ladies...

That's the true.

And there's a fine jump this year.

Now little boy like

stand by and stone watch.

Now who are you?

I'm Johnny Seanacy and

l can outrun any mule in the county.

Come on, lad... what are you waiting for?

L race you right now.

Alright.

Race,

Race,

Race,

How about the church over there,

alright?

Right, any place you say

0n your march... 1... 2...

Stop it.

What's wrong?

Put your coat on, Johnny.

What for?

They're not racing.

This man Burgins here is afraid to run

you in regular official

because he's frightened of

losing money.

Here's the hat on somebody

l give you 2 to 1.

You're just talking,

you know no one here will met you

lf someone came up here with hard coin

you'll try to... loud.

Try me and see.

There is gold?

My yarn is type as a teacher...

A molder for the young mind

15 dollars!

This is not much, but it's the mind

l mold

l'll cover, me and the side kick

l'll postpone it to July 4

l'll take a bite of that myself.

Strange, Johnny, but this is a sure win.

See you in the race time, Johnny,

and l promise not to beat you for a while.

Until then we'll see.

Why did you do a thing like that?

Well.

Excuse me

lt's been 5 years since anyone laid

a bet against Flash Burgins.

Now, if you could beat Flash, we'd clear

the biggest part of money

ever waged in Raintree County.

Fine.

What happens if l don't win and you

lose all your money?

My dear boy, l've certain well-laid plans for

the summer which at the moment l'm limited

to spread, not even to you,

dear boy.

My plans called for a certain...

concentration of capital

l don't know, Professor,

sometimes you worry me.

What are you up to?

Not more than 20 ways of skating a cat,

l guess l can.

Now, you relax for the athletic orgies

ahead.

You're going to win a race.

You're going to be the hero of

Raintree County

l 've got to go.

And the beautiful girl

with an ;Olive wreath will put a crown

on your sun-colored lucks.

Gonna be fine, don't move.

Here we go.

Look at the birdie... look at the tree.

My girls are the prettiest

known to the county.

Alright, you can relax.

Thank you very much

known to the county.

That's it.

That's all?

Huh, how long it's supposed before...

L mean l was just wondering

Maybe 2 or 3 days

2 or 3 days?

0h, that's fine...

Ah, l'll see you in 2 or 3 days.
