Who Shot the Sheriff
November 9, 2020
Who Shot the Sheriff?
This is Joe Bob and Billy Bob and they are brothers, or they might be cousins or they may be both!
They are in a fishing contest or a fishing derby in Louisiana or Alabama.
Billy Bob is angry as Joe Bob has caught the winning fish. Joe Bob is looks pretty happy as he has a little smile going on. They may be in a barn in the summer in the late afternoon, but it might be early morning as the early bird catches the worm!
You can smell the fish smell all around; it smells like the sea and dirty socks. "Yuck!" There are a bunch of seagulls flying around saying "mine, mine, mine."
There is a crowd of people cheering "Hooray, hooray" praising Joe Bob, which enrages Billy Bob.
It sounds like a gunshot went off, "Bang". You can smell the gunpowder.... it hurts your nostrils.
The gunshot missed Joe Bob and hit Billy Bob. "Oh No!" the crowd yells.
A Sheriff in the crowd went to steal Joe Bob's fish and Billy Bob took his gun and shot him.
The crowd started singing "I shot the Sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy."
As told by Kyle, Kerri, Val, Rema, Roberta, Melodie, Elizabeth, Becky and Barbie.
