Sleeping Death

A disease called Sleeping Sickness starts spreading through Central City. Ranger Bill and some kids who are his friends decide they need to spray for mosquitos all over town to stop it. However, there's one guy who owns land in the area and he won't let them come onto his property to do the spraying. By the way, Sleeping Sickness is normally a problem in tropical parts of Africa, not in a place like Central City near Knotty Pine. Also, it's not really spread by mosquitos—it's actually spread by a bug called the Tsetse fly.
