The Tales of Huckleberry Hound: Season 4

31. Round Em' Up, Huck!

One morning, Huckleberry Hound decided to invite Top Cat, Choo-Choo, Quick Draw McGraw and Baba Looey to join him and Snag at Super Family Funland. They were not only enjoying the rides and games, but recently, the miniature golf course that had recently been added to the park! They had been enjoying their game so far, and were currently on the eighth hole, where there was a large windmill in the middle of the course.

"Okay, par is three on this hole," TC said, reading the sign nearby. "Who's up first this time?"

"I thin' Queekstraw is, Senior Top Cat!" Baba Looey replied.

Huck handed Quick Draw his golf club. "Think you can get it right through the center of the windmill?" he asked.

"Just watch me!" Quick Draw replied. "I'm the fastest golf player in the west! Fore!!"

Quick Draw hit the ball, but it bounced off the windmill blade, and it flew back right into his mouth!

"Golf balls are for playing golf! Not eating!" Choo-Choo giggled, holding a paw to his mouth.

"Mmmmph!" Quick Draw protested, then spat the golf ball out. "Now hoooold on thar! That weren't supposed to happen!"

But the gang was still laughing! They couldn't help themselves! Of course, Huck was laughing the hardest. He found this absolutely hilarious!

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This is absolutely hysterical!!" he chortled.

Well, after everyone had calmed down, they resumed their game and went back to casual chatter. As they discussed their plans for the next few weeks, Huck suddenly remembered something that he knew Quick Draw would love!

"Say, I just remembered!" he exclaimed. "There's gonna be a Wild West festival next weekend in Reseda! It's just a short hike away! Whaddya say we take a gander, Quick Draw? You and Baba Looey would fit right in!"

"A Wild West Festival!?" Quick Draw shouted. "YEEEEE-HAW!! Count me in!"

"Why that sounds like a fine idea," Snag commented. "But I've never heard about this festival."

"I read about it," TC said. "They have reenactments of the Gold Rush days and they have those old cowboy actors who get a bit too into character, if you want my opinion. The movies ain't nothing like the way it actually played out in history, you know."

"So, it's basically...meeting movie stars!?" Snag beamed. "Oh, joy! Oh, rapture! Oh, happy day, even!"

"There's even a rodeo, pony rides, and a square dance!" Huck added. "It's basically like a hoedown!"

"I'd love to head down there!" Snag grinned. "I think the Wild West sounds fun!"

"This should be interesting!" Choo-Choo agreed.

"Sure, sure...I suppose I'll tag along," TC nodded.

The next day, Huck and Quick Draw decided to go for a walk.

"So, do you think we should perform at the festival?" Quick Draw asked. "I'd love to put on a ropin' routine for the folks!"

"That sounds swell!" Huck smiled. "I can put on a cowboy hat just like yours, and maybe sing a song or two for the crowd!"

"Can I accompany you on my guitar?"

"Sure! I've actually been wanting to play the fiddle! It's like a violin, but lots more fun!"

Just then, they heard a noise. "Neeeeigh!"

"Uh. Quick Draw, did you just neigh?" Huck asked.

"I didn't neigh, Huck," Quick Draw replied.
