Blaze and the Mountain Lion

  An Exciting Adventure

Noah (age 8) of Oregon, 7/20/2016

Billy was taking Blaze, his horse, to go camping. He met his cowboy friend Jim there! Jim told Billy that Mountain Lions have been eating the calves in the herd. Billy was going to go on an explore and Jim asked him to tell him if he sees the Mountain Lion because he needed killed. Billy and Blaze rode and Billy saw traces of Panther tracks! By the tracks were bones of calves! So, he knew he was near a Mountain Lion and he was scared. He did remember that Jim told him long ago that the Mountain Lion lived in a slot canyon. Billy found the slot canyon and saw a calf stuck in it with a mountain lion approaching. Billy got an old rope, tied it into a lasso and hoped that the rope would hold. He got it around the calf's body and pulled the calf up. When the calf reached the top, he tied the rope (with the calf on one end) to Blaze's bridle. He went back and told Jim all about it. If you think this book sound exciting (which it is) you should read it to see what happens next!
