"We were busy guys!"

"You bet, Ike!  We  made a lot of public appearances this year to be ambassadors of open space protection."

"I thought we just showed up to have fun."

"Well, we did.  But by having fun, we get people involved in preserving open space."

"How does that work?"

"Well, we're always accompanied by folks from the Open Space Committee, who have information and can just talk about keeping Swanzey's fields and forests available for large dritters like us."

"So we do good work just by having fun?"

"That's been the idea ever since we were adopted as ambassadors."

"Why can't everybody else be like us?"

"Because they're not oxen."
