Roy Rogers sold a small lot of cattle at a very good price, he brought them to market at just the right time, Roy use some of the money to buy himself a pair of new boots fancy, made to order , hand tooled , with tasteful sterling embellishments. On his way back to the ranch he stopped at a line shack, but of course he left the boots in the shack when he rode out to check on a few things. When he returned he found that somehow a mountain lion had gotten into the shack, made a mess of everything , and you know it,, destroyed his new boots. Mr.Rogers was more than a bit perturbed , word went out to all the hands , FIND THAT CAT AND KILL IT, bring me back the carcass, one week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks no mountain lion, Mr Rogers offers a huge reward, forty days latter a grizzled old cowpoke rides up to the shack with something wrapped in canvas over the back of his pack horse, he calls to to the shack "Mr, Rogers I think I have something you want to see" Roy walks out, the cowpoke pulls off the canvas showing the mountain lion, and askes Mr Rogers " Pardon me Roy is that the cat that chewed you new shoes?
