Some of the prints had
five toe marks and some of them only four. "Maybe that means the animal
was lame," I said to myself, and doesn't make a full print with one of its
feet. But in a minute I had sense enough to see that wasn't the way it
was, because there were always two of one kind pretty close together and
then two of the other kind pretty close together. This is the way it was;
there was a five toe print then another one about a foot in back of it,
then about three or four feet in back of that a couple more about a foot
apart with only four toe marks.
Good night! I They had me all flabbergasted.
Pretty soon they left the path altogether and I looked in the bushes for
hairs, but I couldn't find a single one.
"Anyway," I said to myself, "one thing sure, that animal has five toes on
his front feet and only four on his hind feet and I never saw any tracks
like that before or even pictures of them."
I wasn't exactly scared, but just the same I was kind of glad when I got
to the village.
CHAPTER VII
I MEET THE STRANGER
Anyway, that was the smallest village I ever saw to have such big tracks
right near it.
