Chapter 1 Sam

Walking back to camp through the swamp, Sam wondered whether to tell his father what he had seen.

"I know one thing," he said to himself.

"I'm going back to that little pond again tomorrow. And I'd like to go alone.

If I tell my father what I saw today, he will want to go with me.

I'm not sure that's a very good idea."

Sam was eleven. His last name was Beaver.

He was strong for his age and had black hair and dark eyes like an Indian.

Sam walked like an Indian, too, putting one foot straight in front of the other and making very little noise.

The swamp through which he was traveling was a wild place there was no trail, and it was boggy underfoot, which made walking difficult.
