Sheriff Dan
Dan was the evil sheriff of Oceantown. Dan was as cruel as the devil.
He worshipped money. Dan was a millionaire, but he paid his police
officers almost nothing. The police were very bitter, but Dan didn't care.
He only cared about his money.
Every person who inhabited Oceantown disliked him. Dan enforced
cruel laws. Once, Dan even put his own brother in jail for throwing a
coin into a fountain! Sometimes he pointed his gun into the air and
pulled the trigger. He didn't want the bullets to hit anyone. He just
wanted to scare people with the loud sound.
Finally, the people of Oceantown decided that they had to get rid of
Sheriff Dan. With their understanding, the crowd sought to unify the
town. They marched to Dan's house. He was startled by the sight when
he ran to the door. When he opened the door, the crowd jumped on
him. They used a rope to tie him to a chair. Dan yelled, "Get your hands
off of me! I'll put you all in jail for the rest of your lives!"
The crowd didn't listen. They carried Dan to the harbor and put him
aboard a vessel. Dan was so scared that he began to sweat. He
begged, "If you let me go, I will give you all my money!"
The crowd said back, "Sheriff, we don't care about your money. We
know you will never change. We're sending you on a voyage to the
middle of the ocean." The boat drifted out of the port, and Dan was
never seen again. The people voted for a new sheriff who was kind and
fair.
