Oh, but say,
I was having the fight of my life!"
"I should say so," answered Snap, looking around. "You must have
pulled up those three bushes yonder. Getting strong in your sleep."
"I am glad he didn't dream I was a bear," remarked Shep. "There
wouldn't have been anything left of me by the time he woke up!"
"I know how it was," said Whopper, as the full truth dawned on
him. "I ate a very hearty supper last night, and when I went
to bed my head was full of those two bears we brought down. That
gave me the nightmare."
"Then, after this, we'll have to send you to bed supperless," said
Snap.
"Not much!" cried Whopper.
CHAPTER XXIX
A STRANGE MEETING IN THE FOREST
Despite Whopper's nightmare and what had followed, the boy hunters
slept soundly for the rest of the night. All arose at daybreak and
procured what was destined to be their last meal in the camp for
that season.
"I rather hate to leave the spot," said Snap, while packing away the
breakfast things. "We have had some good fun here."
"We must come back some time, by all means," declared Shep.
