An excerpt from a story inspired by THE CITY HOTEL GOLD RUSH PANELS by Russell Clark

Bill and Johnny were in the town when they heard the news that a rumour was around. They saw a man with shiny bags of gold. Everyone scrambled away to find shovels from anywhere they could.

All the men scrambled to find gold, while the ladies supported them with food for their journey. On their journey they had to cross fresh, cold rivers. When they got there they dug day and night, winter, summer and autumn. By that time they had run out of food.

Bill and Johnny, they were full of courage and bravery, so they followed the angel that came. They followed him to the end of the rainbow where there was a pot of shimmering gold, “eureka” they yelled, they felt great and happy.

When they got home they were as warm as the sun. Everyone crowded them like when someone wins a race. They were as happy as they could be, and there were heaps of juicy bones for Bill the dog, “woof woof” he went.
