It's hunting season up here and the majority of the people hunt. In Myr's English class they had an assignment to finish a story. The story was about twin fawns that grew up in an orchard and the boy who lived by the orchard. He watched the deer grow up and one day, while hunting, he happens upon the twins. My was to finish the story.
I'll warn you, it's not a Disney ending--
The End to the Twin Story
He thought about the meat he could get from this deer and realized that he wouldn't get much and hunting season had just started. He could hunt again, just not in the orchard. So he clicked the safety on and the deer ran away. In a couple of days he went out in the in the woods and he saw a beautiful eight pointer. He clicked the safety off and shot. A perfect shot, right in the heart. And Jamie rejoiced. He gutted the deer and he kept the heart for his lucky pup. When he got out of the woods, he yelled to his family. They were all so happy for him.
Jamie's family made lots of venison sausage. The winter came and Jamie found himself in the orchard with corn. He dumped it and left, hoping the twins would find it and survive the winter.
The next fall he went out to the orchard and saw a buck, he bet that that was the one of the twins all grown up. This time he shot. It was not so good of a shot. It hit the buck low in the chest. So, Jamie went running home to get his dad to help him track it. Not far from the orchard, Jamie and his dad found the deer. When they ate the venison steak, it was the best Jamie ever had. He decided that he would forever on feed the deer corn in the orchard because he imagined that the stakes tasted as good to him as the corn did to the deer.
That's what I love best about my girl: She's got a firm grasp on reality and a pragmatic view of the world. She will do well.
