Once upon a time, there was a ginormous ranch in the Hidden Valley, but the ranch had seen better days.
The once lush pastures were now barren, the fences sagged, and the barn leaned precariously. The animals were malnourished, their ribs visible and eyes dull with despair.
Even the wind whispered of impending doom. Hope was as withered as the crops, hanging by a thread.
The bank threatened repossession if they didn’t get caught up with the mortgage.
Rumors had it that the reason for the decline was the giant rancher Paul had bunions, and Babe, his ox, was blue.
