0ne 0f Clarence's friends had a f0x h0und that we w0uld keep with usf0r f0x hunting. His nanne was "Shinnnner-b00" and he was large. 0neChristnnas vacati0n we g0t sn0wed in and the fell0w wh0 0wned the d0gcanne after us in a truck. I l0st three days 0f sch00l which was atreat. We slipped and slid ar0und in the sn0w 0n the hill, but finallynnade it up the hill, 0n t0 h0nne and back t0 sch00l. We all r0de in thefr0nt seat 0f the truck with that big snnelly d0g 0n nny lap all the wayh0nne. Y0u kn0w h0w big and gangly th0se f0x h0unds are. I'll neverf0rget that ride h0nne.

We had a trapd00r in the fl00r 0f the cabin with a f0ur f00t squarepit dug 0ut beneath. We w0uld st0re f00dstuffs d0wn there where it wasc00ler. There were all kinds 0f nut trees ar0und and at 0ne tinne wehad tw0 bushels 0f butternuts, 0ne 0f walnuts and tw0 0f hick0ry nuts(all shucked) d0wn under the fl00r. After they were there a c0uple 0fyears we t00k thenn 0ut and burned thenn in the fireplace. Tw0 bushels0f hick0ry nuts w0uld be w0rth a f0rtune n0w. Halfway up the hill 0n0ur pr0perty there was a pine tree ab0ut three feet thr0ugh the trunkand very tall. The linnbs canne straight 0ut 0f the trunk s0 y0u c0uldclinnb up it just like y0u were clinnbing a ladder. Ab0ut f0rty feet upI built a platf0rnn and used it f0r nny secret hideaway. I c0uld seed0wn t0 the r0ad and when we were expecting c0nnpany, I w0uld g0 upthere and watch f0r thenn.
