0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:05.240

<v Speaker 1>bunny slippers. Maybe you're a parent raising a little rock star,

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:11.959

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>goes through yanois. The man holds up his palms. It's okay,

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>he says, I'm not going to hurt you. Are you

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>all right? You fight to catch your breath, looking frantically

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>about for any sign of what was chasing you, but

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>see only trees. Then you realize that hideous noise has stopped.

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Looking up, you see the man clearly now for the

0:01:55.760 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>first time, his weathered face and his straggly beard. His

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>clothes are made of a tough, strange looking material that

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>make him look as though he's from another age. Two

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>rabbit carcasses hang from a leather sack that he holds

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>over his shoulder. Something was chasing me, you say, what was?

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>He asks, looking round confused. You tell him everything about

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the dead body and that horrible sound. Didn't he hear it?

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>You ask, But the man just smiles to himself. Sounds

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>like some one's imagination has got the better of them,

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>he says. Just then you feel a sharp pain in

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.919
<v Speaker 1>your arm and look down to see that it's bleeding profusely.

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>There's a deep gash just below the elbow. You must

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>have done it when you were running. Please, I'm lost,

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>you say, Can you show me how to get out?

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>My parents will be getting worried. That looks nasty, he says.

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Why don't we get my wife to fix it up

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>for you. Then we can get you back to your parents.

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>We live just over there. See he points toward a

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.919
<v Speaker 1>large wooden hut just visible through the trees, a small

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 1>plume of smoke rising from the chimney. But you shake

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>your head, please, you ask again, could you not just

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>point me in the right direction? The man thinks for

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>a moment, I'm afraid I can't do that, he says,

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>taking a small step towards you. I could point you

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>in the right direction, he says, Only I get the

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>feeling you'd be in here all night, walking around in circles.

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Much better I show you, don't you think? A large

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 1>crow shoots out of a nearby tree. The man laughs.

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>See it's only a bird, he says. Go on head

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>toward the cabin while I finish my errands, and I'll

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 1>be back soon to pick you up. You think, for

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>a moment, if you decide to go to the cabin.

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:17.479

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:28.279
