The Big, the Nice, the Ugly, the Mean...Cactus
by Johnathan Koonce

One day in Dodge city, Tex was crying. Raw Steak came up to Tex and said, "What is the matter?" Tex quietly said, "I miss all of my family." Of course we all remember Raw Steak and Tex. We remember them from the last 2 stories. Anyway, "How about we go to were your family is?" Raw Steak said. Tex replied, "I already tried, nobody was there. After my brothers and sisters moved out my parents moved to a smaller house. It is sad, very sad. Just in case you don't remember Raw and Tex, they are the town's sheriffs.

"Tex, look there is a bad cactus on the loose. We need to catch him!" Raw Steak said. Tex quietly said, "OK." They went to town. They looked for the "bad" cactus. They finally found the cactus. He was at the Texas Road House restaurant. He was just about to order when Tex saw him. Tex said, "Hex, is that you?" "Tex! Where have you been? I have been looking all over for you!" Tex's brother said. "I have been here in this part of Texas, I've been looking everywhere for someone." Tex said. "Look", Hex said, "I came here to tell you good and bad news. The good news is that we are having a family reunion next weekend in California, the bad news is that our brother Ugy is bad, and I mean he is a criminal. He is coming to the reunion. Police are going to be looking out for him. Back in California they call him: The big, the nice, the ugly, the mean...Cactus." "Wow," Tex said. "Hold on, the people said that they saw him here in Texas! We have got to catch him!" Raw Steak said.

The next day Tex went out to get the paper for Raw. Hex spent the night at Raw Steak and Tex's house. "Your house is very nice." "Thank you!" Raw said. "Today we are going to get Ugy (U-G)! We will get him somehow!" The next day they went looking everywhere. They still couldn't find him. Raw Steak asked, "Do you think Ugy will be at the family reunion?!" Hex replied, "Yes I sent him a letter to his house, He wouldn't miss it for the world!!" "Great!!!" Tex said. "Well I guess that we have to wait until the family reunion!"

It was Thursday, the day that they were going to California for the family reunion. They left Texas at 3 p.m.; they arrived at LAX in L.A. at 4 p.m. They went to the hotel, and they saw him. "Hey Ugy!" Hex said, "Come here!" Ugy made eye contact with Hex and Tex, He was coming over to them but then he saw Raw Steak. Ugy was intimidated by Raw Steak's Sheriff badge. He was because he had done a few things wrong in his life.

It was now 6 p.m. It was time for all of Tex and Hex's family to meet in the ball room at the Hacienda hotel that which they were staying in. They saw Ugy. This time they caught him, and they took him to Raw Steak. "Hey I've been hearin' that you have been causin' lots of trouble." Raw Steak exclaimed, "Is this true?" Ugy answered, "Yes I've robbed a few stores, but only to feed my kids!" "Well you are still going to have to go to jail!" Raw Steak said.

After Ugy went to jail everyone was happy and had fun!!! PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE END!!!!!!!!!
