One of them, Charles Walker
(calles Trout), was stupid, disrespectful and a
show-off. Once he asedk me to take a ride on his new boat, but I
didn't want to. Then he was angry about that. At
that time, Sam, the onion picker, repaired the
schoolhouse. Every evening we talked about different things. I
enjoyed being with him. We fell in love, but someone had seen
us kissing. On the next day,
everybody in town knew about the kiss. The people wanted to burn the
schoolhouse down and to hang Sam, because he was a Negro. I told Sam
about that and we wanted to run away. Sam was killed and I was
rescued. After that I killed the sheriff, and for the next twenty
years I was one of the most feared outlaws | this
is what I looked like then|. Twenty
years later I came back to Green Lake. One day Trout Walker and his
wife Linda came. They wanted my loot. They took me out to the lake,
where they wanted me to dig for them to hand over the treasure, but then I was bitten by a
lizard and I died laughing. written by Jessica
