woods to get a Christmas tree.
The early winter twilight had
already begun to fall and the
white woods were so quiet and
mysterious that I should have
been afraid if papa had not
been with me. Even then, I
was alert for some wild sound.
Suddenly, a low growl came to
our ears. Even tho [ had been
expecting some noise, this was
so weird a sound that it made
my heart jump. I was for
running toward home, but papa
thought of trap he had set
for wolves at the foot of a
large pine tree, and went
toward it. Sure enough it
was the trap that had caused
the noise, for there, caught:
by one foot, was a great wild
cat. He was jumping with his
three free feet and straining the
chain of -, the trap in his at
tempts to get away and up
into the tree. Papa said he
never saw anything jumpyaas
that wildcat did, but I am sure
that if he could have felt my
heart jump he would have
changed his mind.
