Hunting for Manicou

We were so frightened because we knew if he

caught us we would be in big, big trouble.

I was sure that we would have been history. I told

my friends we have to put back the Manicous and

they all agreed.

I quickly grabbed the bag with the man’s Manicou

and ran in the opposite direction down the

mountain as fast as I could to put back the bag of

Manicous.

I placed it in the very same spot and ran back up

the mountain and hid.

The man passed where we were hiding.

Quarrelling as he went down the hill, he said,
“If I catch those little monsters, I will kill them”.
