Pecos Bill

• Retold by
• Lily

2

• A long time ago in Texas lived a baby boy named
  Bill. The land was too crowded. So they packed
  their wagon and headed west.

3

• His parents couldnt find him. Then an old
  coyote saw him, and pulled him out of the water.

4

• Bill was raised with the coyotes. He could do
  anything the coyotes could do.

5

• One day a cowboy , named Curly Joe, came. Curly
  Joe asked Bill what his name was. Bill said,
  Bill. Curly Joe said, Pecos Bill sounds better.
  And that is how he got his name.

6

• While Pecos Bill was walking with Curly Joe, a
  rattle snake sank his fangs into Pecos Bills
  leg. Bill squeezed all the poison out. Then Pecos
  Bill saw a Gila monster. He twisted the into a
  loop and threw it . He caught the Gila monster.
  And that was how Pecos Bill invented the lasso.

7

• When Pecos Bill got to the camp he ate all the
  beans, a gallon of coffee, and even wiped his
  mouth with a cactus.

8

• Pecos showed the camp how to lasso cattle. And
  then all the cattle climbed on the Pinnacle Peak
  mountain.
