Buster Bear had had the worst
fright of his life. He had been shot
at and hit. The bullet had done no
great damage. but it had hurt. 1t is
bang Of that terrible gun. had
frightened Buster most. Buster was
lucky, though he didn't know it. He
thought he was unlucky. He was
sure he was unlucky. But that bull
let might have killed him. or it
might have broken a leg. 1t might
have done number of things
that it didn't do. So, you see, Buster
really was lucky.
1t was very fortunate thing for
Buster that the night had been so
very dark. Had there been moon
light, or even starlight. the farmer
who had been hiding, waiting for
Buster to come back to steal an
other pig, would have been able to
make sure of his shot. But Buster
didn't think of these things. All he
could think of was the fact that he
had been hurt and the other fact,
that he had been cheated out of an
other pig. 1t is a question which
troubled Buster most. You see. hav-
ing had taste of pig. it seemed to
him that he just must have an
other.
Buster ran long way from that
farm. At first he intended to keep
right on going and never come back.
When he had gone far enough for
him to think that it was safe to do
SO, he made himself a bed under d
windfall and slept. When he awoke
he should have kept right on going
But he didn't. He got to thinking
Of those pigs over in that pen back
on the farm where he had been
shot.
Il suppose" said Buster to him
self, that that man with the ter.
rible gun will be watching for me
Yes, sir, l suppose he'll be watch.

is. I won't do it right away. TT
no longer around here. Then one
fine night I'll slip back there and
get another pig. My, how that ter.
rible gun can hurt"
So Buster was crafty enough not
to go back for almost week. H
farmer would be sure that he haf
gone away. It was very hard work
not to 60 back where he could keeT
an eye on things. but he was afraic
that if he did. the man with the
terrible gun might discover him
and he had no desire TO be shot a
again. So he contented himself wifi
hunting for wood mice, digging opef
ant hills. digging ont a few root:
and picking up whatever he cOulc
