A Chance Hunter
Nasreddin left his donkey downhill. He went uphill to collect firewood. He had to work hard because he wouldn’t want to come home late. When he was tired he took a rest under a big tree. It was very quiet. He could hear birds singing and leaves rustling. Suddenly he heard a strange sound. It was like the sound of heavy footsteps. He look around. There was nothing.But the sound getting louder and nearer. He turned left and saw a moving black figure: a bear! Nasreddin was so afraid that he ran here and than to find a tree that he could climb. Finally he climbed a pear tree.
