4. Characters: main-hunter
Supporting-thief, justice of the peace
6. Brief summary:
A hunter was out hunting one day on the forest and killed a deer.
Since it was very late in the day, he couldnt take the deer home. He
skinned it. He hang it as high as he could on the branch of a tall pine
tree. The following day he returned for his deer, but the deer was gone.
He searched the area for tracks. When he found clues, he went to the
justice of peace for help.
The justice of peace asked him if he had any idea as to who
stole the deer. The hunter replied that he had seen the thief and he
didnt know who it was, but he could give an accurate description of
the man who stole the deer.
The justice of the peace said if he knows something, tell him
what kind of man he is. The hunter replied that he is shorter than him,
he is older, and he had a yellow bulldog with him. The justice of the
peace asked how the hunter knew all that. The hunter replied that he
knew he is shorter than the hunter because he had to put some logs
beneath the tree to reach the deer. The justice of the peace asked how
he knew he is old. Then the hunter replied because he took short
steps, like an old man.
The judge was convinced and granted permission to look for a
man fitting that description. After searching for some time, the hunter
and the justice of the peace arrived at a house. They saw a yellow
bulldog. They knocked on the door and a small, old man appeared.
Then they searched his barn and found the stolen deer. So the hunter,
by using his wits, had tracked down the thief who had stolen his deer.
