A whole week.
:16:02
Hey, Billy. You waited this long.
Few more days ain't gonna hurt.
:16:06
Now, go stand on your head.
:16:22
Didn't think hunting dogs
was on the schoolwork schedule, Billy.
:16:26
l'm sorry, Ma.
:16:28
l just get so excited,
thinking about having my own little pups.
:16:32
Now, l need you to promise me
that you'll put your schoolwork first
:16:35
and you put away
this daydreaming about dogs.
:16:39
l promise.
:16:41
Cross your heart?
:16:43
Cross my heart and hope to die.

( ''Traveler'' by Fernando Ortega)

(Billy) My ma was always worried
I was gonna turn out a hillbilly.
:17:03
and this was just
the sort of behavior that would prove it.
:17:06
I was in trouble.
But there was no way around it.
:17:10
My pups might be starving to death
15 miles away in Tahlequah.
:17:14
and I was never gonna
make it back in time for supper.

Remember the traveler
:17:21
Bring us safely home
:17:24
Heavenly father
:17:28
Remember the traveler
:17:32
Bring us safely home
:17:36
Safely home

There was this old wives' tale
that two owl hoots means bad luck.
:17:50
I was busting to take this shortcut.
so I had a real good listen.
