In the ranger's station of Brownstone National Park, both a residential home and an office, slept Ranger Audubon J. Woodlore. It was six o'clock in the morning when the ranger's alarm clock erupted. Audubon hastily woke up and threw a boot to the clock, efficiently silencing the alarm.
He then sprung from his bed, instantaneously stripped himself and stepped into his shower. "Hurry with the shower!" he sung. He was soon finished from the shower. "Hurry getting dressed!" He then grabbed a towel to dry himself and slipped behind a privacy screen, behind which he properly attired himself. He finished and looked at the watch he wore on his left hand. "Have to watch the hour! Oh, dear. Have no time to rest!"
The ranger stole a quick glance at a mirror to adjust his uniform fashionably. "All must be perfection." Afterward approached his telescope. "A big day is at hand! Hmm! Just one more inspection. Now let's see how we stand!" He picked up his clipboard, a pencil, and brought an eye to the telescope. He quickly skimmed through the park, making sure that everything was in proper order.
"Waterfalls are flowing, check! Flowers are in bloom, check! Geysers all are blowing, check! Lots of camping room, check! All the lakes and the streams are well stocked. There's a sign for each road and trail. Everything's ready, all ready, I'm ready! And now, hm, hm...!" He slipped his clipboard in his jacket and broke into a fast trot. He departed the station and arrived at a clearing. "... For the last detail!" He chuckled and pulled his whistle from a pocket. He blew into it, which of course resulted in a loud noise.
Many forestland creatures--rabbits, birds, bears, deer, squirrels and beavers--raced to the clearing where Ranger Woodlore stood. Satisfied, the ranger smiled pleasantly to the animals.
"Good morning, nature's citizens, good morning! And how are we today?" The animals answered by either making a noise or smiling, and the ranger continued: "Well, the end of summer is rapidly approaching, and we'll be busy with guests! Be on your best behavior, everybody, as always. All right, everybody dismissed! But don't wander off too far; our guests will be here shortly."
The animals nodded and scattered, leaving a proud ranger. "Another glorious day here at Brownstone National Park," he said to himself. "Hm, hm."
