One afternoon, Mogey and Smush were hunting out on the prairie with their prize falcon, Lubbins. They had little success until Lubbins captured something most unusual. Mogey and Smush hurried to the spot where they'd seen Lubbins fall upon his prey, only to discover their falcon perched atop the back of a bedraggled looking man.
"Please...help..." the man groaned, stretching a dirty hand toward Mogey and Smush.
"Caw!" said Lubbins, pecking the man's head.
"Atta boy, Lubbins," Mogey said.
"Please," the man repeated. "I broke me ankle out here three weeks ago and I've been crawling across the prairie ever since."
"Three weeks?" Smush exclaimed. "Mogey, we've got to get this man to Doctor Del!"
Mogey agreed and so they helped the poor man into their falcon-drawn wagon, hitched Lubbins to the front, and hauled for town. Once they reached the village, Mogey reined Lubbins in and the wagon came to a screeching halt before a small building with a sign out front that read "Dr. Del Ish's Chicken and Biscuits."
"Doctor Del! Doctor Del!" Smush yelled as he and Mogey hauled the man inside. "This man needs your help! He hasn't had chicken OR biscuits in at least three weeks!"
