Speaker 1: he says, I'm not going to hurt you. Are you

23
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: all right? You fight to catch your breath, looking frantically

24
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: about for any sign of what was chasing you, but

25
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,400

Speaker 1: Looking up, you see the man clearly now for the

27
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: first time, his weathered face and his straggly beard. His

28
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: clothes are made of a tough, strange looking material that

29
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,840

Speaker 1: rabbit carcasses hang from a leather sack that he holds

31
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: over his shoulder. Something was chasing me, you say, what was?

32
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: He asks, looking round confused. You tell him everything about

33
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: the dead body and that horrible sound. Didn't he hear it?

34
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: You ask, But the man just smiles to himself. Sounds

35
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: like some one's imagination has got the better of them,

36
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: he says. Just then you feel a sharp pain in

37
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: your arm and look down to see that it's bleeding profusely.

38
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: There's a deep gash just below the elbow. You must

39
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: have done it when you were running. Please, I'm lost,

40
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: you say, Can you show me how to get out?

41
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: My parents will be getting worried. That looks nasty, he says.

42
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: Why don't we get my wife to fix it up

43
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,520

00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: large wooden hut just visible through the trees, a small

46
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: plume of smoke rising from the chimney. But you shake

47
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: your head, please, you ask again, could you not just

48
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: point me in the right direction? The man thinks for

49
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: a moment, I'm afraid I can't do that, he says,

50
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: taking a small step towards you. I could point you

51
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: in the right direction, he says, Only I get the

52
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: feeling you'd be in here all night, walking around in circles.

53
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: Much better I show you, don't you think? A large

54
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: crow shoots out of a nearby tree. The man laughs.

55
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: See it's only a bird, he says. Go on head

56
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: toward the cabin while I finish my errands, and I'll

57
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: be back soon to pick you up. You think, for

58
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,200
