Hints:
Ben NewmanBen was awakened by a gunshot. The sharp noise came through the thick stone walls of the house.
It was cold in the bedroom. Ben Newman was shaking as he got out of bed.
He put on his eyeglasses and went over to the window. The field was covered with white frost. Nothing moved out there in the deep quiet just before the sunrise.
Ben looked past the field to the thick woods. Two weeks ago he saw a deer among the trees. He held his breath with excitement. Then the deer walked off.
Ben wondered where the shot had come from. He thought perhaps he had dreamed he heard a gunshot.
He looked out toward the frozen lake. Near the trees he saw a shining piece of metal. When it moved, Ben saw that it was a long gun.
A minute later a man came out of the woods. He wore hunting clothes.
Suddenly a bird flew upward. The man quickly put the gun to his shoulder and shot.
Ben watched the bird, praying it had not been hurt. It flew near the ground and went into some tall grass.
Safe, Ben thought.
The hunter did not move for a moment, then he began to follow the bird.
