[Delmonico]

Very quickly they are both floatin' down the Dismal.

[Trinity]

  "Naaaaawwwww!!!!  Don' let it git to tha excrement tube!!!!"

[Delmonico]

Suddenly Ozark flushes the Water Closet in the Wedgewood room and Trinity and slim are in deep poop.

[Ozark Tracker]

Slim picks out a board floating by and surfs on down the river.

[Delmonico]

No that's not a board, a log yes.  Durn Ozark, what have you been eatin'?

[Ozark Tracker]

musta been them little bitty hogs, I think they'd been eating toadstools.

[Trinity]

While Ozark is hanging onto an oversized log, Trinity's eyes catch something gleaming in the sediment.

[Delmonico]

(Note, reread, Slim is hangin' onto the log that Ozark flushed.)

Delmonico sees Trinity reachin' for a ring and shoots right by his hand, Trinity pulls his hand back and floats around the bend.   Delmonico gets a stick and gets the ring and takes it away.

(We can't let Trinity do that one again.)

[Trinity]

"Dernit, that hurt!  Oh nooooooo!  What happent to that rang.  Dagnabbit!"

Trinity stares with squinted eyes after the log as it rounds the bend.  "Now, jes' who is that yonder on tha lawg?" 

[Ozark Tracker]

with his eye open wide, a tiny little brown log pokes it. or was that a log 

[Trinity]

with his eye open wide, a tiny little brown log pokes it. or was that a log 

"If it were 'posed ta be a lawg, it were mighty strange lookin' indeed!"

[Ozark Tracker]

when he can see again he looks back down river and looks again for the fellar on the log. but the current is pulling him along pretty fast.

[Trinity]

Trinity tires of trying to catch up with Slim, so he exits the river and mopes back to the house where someone has set up a Christmas tree.  Noting that the tree is not yet decorated, Trinity throws his hat on the top and sits down in front of the fire to warm up and dry off.

[Ozark Tracker]

Trinity gets warm and falls asleep, when he wakes up, the tree is decorated with several gifts already under it. Trintiy looks thoughout the house and sees no one around.

[Trinity]

Then he looks at the names on the tags and doesn't find his anywhere.  He slumps back into the chair when he remembers that he can't read.

[Ozark Tracker]

it musta been the Christmas Fairy that come in and decdorated the tree and brought in a few starter gifts.

[Trinity]

Trinity decides that in light of the fact that he can't read, all the gifts must be for him.  He opens one up and finds a mixing bowl.  "Now, that just stanks.  Tha Christmas fay-ry jus' don' know nothin' bout me!"

[Ozark Tracker]

Trintiy opens the next gift, it's a whale bone corsette, Trintiy tries it on and almost hurts hisself.

[Trinity]

Then he tries to think who might have wanted that for a gift.  If this were last year, he would have known.( )  But since this is not last year, Trinity is worried.

[Ozark Tracker]

the next gift Trintiy looks at is a calander with gals holding green garden vegatables
