ter of very little Importance as compared
with the search process that he instituted
In his frantic endeavors 10 find the path
that lead 10 the psternsl home. After
wandering in the woods for several
hours. with no satisfactory results, he

qusiuted our fisherman with the Tact
that he was several miles from where he
started Moral: When YOU 60 fishing
