Bill and the cowboy traveled across the prairie.They were entering a territory that there was no place for a wick man.In this place men were very tough that they crushed rocks with their teeth and ate nails for supper.But Pecos Bill wasn't afraid.
When they arrived at a camp, Pecos Bill made himself right at home.He sauntered to the campfire, ate beans, drank coffee, and picked his teeth with a cactus spine.
Pecos Bill asked, "Who's the boss around here?"
A big man stepped forward. The man looked at Bill's rattlesnake and the mountain lion.The man said, "I was the boss, but you are the boss now."
After that Bill invented everything a person needed to be a cowboy.
He invented spurs, cowboy songs, and ten-gallon hats.
Bill invented the lasso. He practiced using a lasso with his snake.Soon, he could lasso the feathers off an eagle's wing.
Bill learned that the ranchers had few cattle because they couldn't catch them.He lassoed a herd of cattle. Soon, the ranchers had so many cattle that they couldn't keep them together.So Bill invented fence posts, cattle branding, and hitching rails.
Bill's ranch in Texas got so big that he used all of New Mexico as pasture.He used Arizona to raise calves.He dug out the Rio Grande because he was tired of carrying water from the Gulf of California.
