Buck 'n' Bronco - Guy Bass
Chapter 1
Goodbye, Happy Ranch
We’re mascots – and mascots need a theme park!
The rusty old Happy Ranch sign hung over the entrance to the park, creaking slowly in the summer breeze. Another sign had been stuck over it.
PARK CLOSED DOWN
"Closed down? Buck howled. His eyes popped out of his head on stalks.
What in the name of hot dogs and candy floss is going on? They can’t shut Happy Ranch!"
Shucks, Buck, we’re outta luck,
Bronco sighed. Maybe we should have seen this comin’ – we ain’t had no one visitin’ the park these past weeks …
"Why, we’ve had plenty of visitors, Buck replied. He wracked his brain.
There was, uh … and there was … and, uh …"
There was that old lady who stopped to ask for directions to the nearest gas station,
Bronco said helpfully.
It’s the quiet season, is all!
Buck snapped. We never get as many human folk this month.
I dunno, Buck, this month seems to have lasted all year,
Bronco said with another sigh. We ain’t had a payin’ customer in forever.
That’s no reason to close the park!
Buck said. "Ugh, this stinks."
Sorry, Buck,
Bronco muttered as he tried to sniff his own bottom.
I’m not talking about your pony pong, Bronco,
Buck replied. We both know that you can’t break wind unless I pull your finger.
Buck pointed at the sign. I’m talking about this! ‘Park Closed Down’ … Can you think of three unkinder words in all the English language?
Bronco rubbed his chin and said, Demolition in Progress?
What are you talking about?
said Buck, looking up at his friend.
Bronco pointed to another sign right next
to them, on a wooden post dug into the ground. It read:
DEMOLITION IN PROGRESS!
What’s that doing there?
Buck asked. Crank my antlers! They can’t demolish the—
Buck, duck!
Bronco cried.
A shadow fell over them. A moment later, a huge iron wrecking ball flew over their heads and crashed into the main gates of the theme park.
Buck ’n’ Bronco leapt away as a small army of bulldozers rumbled
