My Side of the Mountain Chapters 10-12 Pages 54-84

In these next chapters Sam will find deer and meet one of his own kind. While Sam is minding his own business he hears a shot. Sam finds where he heard the sound from. A deer is dead. Sam knows that it was a poacher and he would soon be coming to this side of the mountain to collect the deer. Sam pulled the deer into the woods and, covered it with ferns to hide it because Sam really needed the deer. When the poacher arrived he was wondering where his deer had gone. He thought then moved out of the meadow.

Sam was taking a cooling bath in the spring, when he hears police sirens. Sam thinks if the police **are** looking for me they wouldn’t make loud sounds. They’d probably sneak up on me. Sam decided to go back to his tree. On his way back they see a man, sleeping at **his** campsite! Sam came to a conclusion that since there were LOUD police sirens maybe just maybe that man was an outlaw! The man woke up. Sam offered him supper. Sam decided to call the man Bando. Sam is so curios to find out if Bando was an outlaw or not. Sam starts guessing jobs. “Minister or Doctor? Sailor or lawyer?” Sam asked eagerly. Bando answered no after all of Sam’s attempts. Then finally Sam couldn’t take it anymore he had to find out. ”You are a murderer or a thief or a racketeer!” Bando chuckled at Sam’s thought. “No! I am just a English teacher who got lost in the Catskills!” Bando answered. After that Sam started telling Bando about his plan to stay through winter. Bando was amazed! Bando stayed with Sam for a couple days. Then set off saying he’d be back by Christmas!
