Corocotta

Jacob Williams came to Diller Hollow, California looking for gold - and he found it. Plenty of it. That means he's a man with lots of free time. When he and three friends decide to devote that free time towards catching an escaped animal, though, they get a little more than they bargained for. Corocotta is the second story in the Bestiary Tales.

Note that this book contains swearing typical to the place and time it is set in.
