I went out in the woods to hunt, and I stayed for weeks.

And one day I saw a panther basking in the sun, waving his graceful tail.

I crept up softly till I was behind a rock within three yards of it, and drawing my arrow to the head, I pierced him through the body.

The animal bounded up in the air, saw me, roared and made a spring, but I dropped behind the rock, and he passed over me.

He turned again to me, but I had my knife ready, and, as he fixed his talons into my shoulder and breast, I pierced him to the heart.
