The Gold Rush Page #4

"Feel that rocking?"

"It's the stomach."

"It's not the stomach."

"Let's go to the other side."

"We'll see how far it|will go over."

"Something|must be missing underneath."

"I'll go outside|and see what it is."

"Now," said Big Jim,|"don't get excited."

"Take it easy, don't move,|don't breathe!"

"I said don't breathe, stupid."

"You can be most annoying|at times."

"If you'll only be cool, be calm,"|said Big Jim,

"We have nothing to worry about."

"Now show a little character!|Where's your willpower?"

"Now listen,|I've got a very good idea."

"Hold your hands like this,|then I can get out first."

"You see what I mean?"|Said Big Jim.

"Your mind is chaotic.|You have no psychology."

"You have no control."

And Big Jim discovered his claim!

"Now we shall be rich," said Jim.

"We shall be millionaires!"

And so they were.

Now they were homeward bound

and they were leaving the hardship|and toil of Alaska

to live in the land|of milk and honey.

To live, laugh and indulge themselves|in the lap of luxury.

They were famous,|and sought after by the press.

In their cabin deluxe

they were welcomed|and waited upon.

The reporter wanted to write|the Little Fellow's life story,

"From Rags to Riches",|and he graciously consented.

And Big Jim was manicured.

"Not the nails," said he,|"the corns."

The reporter thought of a good idea,

to have the Little Fellow pose|in his mining clothes.

It would make a human story.

Georgia...

There she was in the steerage.|Neither knew of the other's presence.

Georgia overheard the officer say|there was a stowaway aboard.

"You!" said Georgia.

"I thought I'd never see you again."

And then she mistook him|for the stowaway.

The officer was going|to put him in irons.

But Georgia pleaded for him|and said she would pay his fare.

"Heck!" said the Captain.|"That's no stowaway."

"That's Big Jim's partner,|the multimillionaire."

Then of course there were apologies.

The Little Fellow|gathered himself together.

James, the valet, was told|to prepare for an extra guest.

"Pardon me," said the reporter,|"but who's the lady?"

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

"Oh, you don't say!|Well, congratulations."

"This will make a great story,|and with a happy ending."

And so it was.

A happy ending.
