Back at the ranch Delmonico and the dog wait fer Slim ta get all the sandburrs out a his body so they can have supper. They would of course not wait fer Slim, 'cept they be havin' too much fun countin' them as he pulls them out. 232, 233, 234 they all chime in with each pull of the pliers.
Suddenly there is a little poof of mist fer a minute and the yaller dog wags his tail as the mist disappears.
As Slim finishes up with the sandburrs, supper is served. After supper slim is not in very good humor, kinda grumpy cause he has had a bad day. Grasshoppers, locusts, crickets and now sandburrs. Even a piece of Delmonico's dried apple and raisin pie don't cheer him up.
Delmonico knows Slim misses Wissyconsion and the trees, it often happens ta folks out here that be used ta trees, they go crazy, the State of Newbrassky has an Insane Assylum in Norfolk that is full a folks like that. Ta keep Slim from havin' to go there Delmonico tells him ta click on this link.

See Slim, just ta cheer ya up Solomon Butcher done drew some trees on this glass plate just ta cheer ya up.
Slim says nothin' but heads fer his soogun and goes ta sleep. Later Delmonico is awakened by Slim screamin' in his sleep sumthin' 'bout grasshoppers playin' horse shoes.
Delmonico thinks ta himself, "that three day weekend will be good fer him."
