Delmonico decides that if'n slim is that green ta let him figger it out on his own.
He decides that he's hungry and if Slim ain't smart enough to get Widder Maker in the deep water that's tough.
Delmonico gets some dried beef and cheese and makes a couple of samwhiches. He climbs to the roof of the barn and sits there munchin' on samwhiches and drinkin' coffee, watchin' Slim and wonderin' if'n he's gonna have to send Mrs. Slim a tellygram, 'splainin' why Slim ain't commin' home this weekend.
They buried old Slim at daybreak, no tombstone for his head.
He only had a wooden board and this is what it read:
Slim died at sunrise; he died from a fall.
Hes gone to a better range; he heard his Master's call.
He'll not see his wife and kids,
When the works all done this fall.
Finishin' his looonch, Delmonico goes down to the barn to see if he can find a board for Slim's grave.
