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.
       The bear followed Nasreddin and traied to climbe the tree which Nasreddin was on. Seeing thet there were so many pears, the bear became greedy. It ate every pear that it could reach. It even climbed higher and higher to find more pears. It forgot Nasreddin!
       Suddenly a very strong wind blew and broke the branch on which the bear stood. It fell down and landed on the ground with its head first. It died in a short time.
       Seeing that the bear did not move, Nasreddin climbed down the pear tree. He got a very good idea. He would skin the bear and brought the fur home.
       After he had finished, Nasreddin tied up the fur on one side of the donkey and the firewood on the other. It was already late in the afternoon, but Nasreddin took the longest road to his village. He want to show off his fur to as many people as possible.
       Every villager who meet him admired the beautiful bear fur and Nasreddin bravery. Knowin that many people of his village admired him, Nasreddin was very proud.
       One of the villagers asked him,”Hey, Nasreddin, How could you kill such us a big bear?”
       “Only with the help of God The Almighty!” Nasreddin answered politely. Villager admired him even more for his humbleness. They thought that Nasreddin was a brave, skillful hunter, yet humble.
