Where'd you get that "we" business paleface?

My little brother. He had it easy. because somebody had to navigate,
so he stood on my shoulders to be able to see out of the ruts.

Then there was the time that we were driving the Mammoths down past
Lake Umbagog to Mooslucmeguntic. Well, what with the glaciers & all,
the bridge pilings were looking mighty shakey. ANd there's nothing
crankier than a wet Mammoth. (THey don't swim so well - the hair bogs
'em down.) So I looked the situation over, and figured that if I stood
on the ice, I could sorta prop things up as the Mammoths crossed.
Well, things went O.K. for the first two, but Jumbo was #3, and his
weight drove my feet plumb throught the ice. If I hadn't been so good
at treading water...
