ONE time a hunter took his gun and started out to see if he could shoot a bear; and he left his house and went along a winding path like this.

By and by he came to a deep valley, and he walked down into it and then climbed up the other side and kept on, like this.

Pretty soon the hunter got to a big tree that stood right in his path where this dot is; and he turned out and walked on, like this, keeping a sharp lookout all the time for bears.

After a while he saw a great dark hole under a stump just a little aside from his path; and here it is.

He did not stop to look into the hole, for he noticed fresh tracks leading away from it, and he hurried on following the tracks up here into these thick woods.

For a long time he walked on and on through the gloomy forest until suddenly he heard a fierce growl some distance away, .and over here at this black spot he saw a bear. At once he aimed his gun and fired and the bear whirled around like this.

The hunter thought he was going to be chased. So he dropped his gun and ran home as fast as he could, this way.

As soon as he was inside of the house he locked the door, and then he happened to see himself in a mirror. He had lost his hat, and he looked just like the last picture.
