Hunting for Manicou

It was a quiet evening my friends Aaron, Hensley,

Giovonni, Jeron and I had nothing to do.

Jeron suggested that we cook stew manicou and

dumplings. We all agreed, however, we had one

problem - we had no Manicou. So we decided to

go hunting for Manicous in the mountains.

We searched almost all the trees in the mountain

but could not find a nest or any Manicous on the

trees. So we went back down the mountain

searching as we went down.

On our way down we saw a man, old but

well-built and tall. He was carrying a fine bag of

Manicous. We asked him for one because we

wanted to make a cook.

He strongly said, “NO!” The no was so loud it
echoed through the bushes.
