Yosemite Sam

• [narrating, from his journal] A low tide and a high rock caused my predicament. The ship's supplies used up, my only food supply was a lowly coconut tree. Gatherin' coconuts was a problem, 'cause of a dangerous, man-eatin' shark named Dopey Dick.
• [whacking Dopey Dick with a hammer] Back! Back! Back! Down, ya shark-livered varmint! [Dopey Dick retreats to the water] Danged ol' fin-flappin' flounder.
• [after outsmarting Dopey Dick once again] Twenty years tryin' and ya missed me again! Ya shovel-nosed mackerel! No-good bushwhackin' barracuda!
• Huh! Missed again, ya hammerhead halibut!
• [fighting and whacking Dopey Dick with a bat] Down! Down! Down, ya shark-toothed salmon!
