In order to grease the griddle, Sourdough Sam called on the camp’s best skaters, the Russian twins Ivan and Alexander. They would cut down trees by swinging each other sideways and sawing with their skates. This time, instead of skates, Sourdough Sam fixed huge slabs of bacon to Ivan and Alexander's boots, and those rousing Russians skated around and around the griddle like greased lightning. Before long, the pan was good and greasy and ready for the batter! |
