Billy was the best coon hunter in town and everybody knew it too. That day Billy had to go to the mill and get some cornmill for his mom, so he first went to his grandpa's store and they went together. While they were there they met up with some boys that were just trouble. The one boy wanted to make a bet, at first Billy said no but his grandpa pushed him to take it so he did. The bet was Billy had to tree "the ghost coon". This coon was the smartest coon in town and if his hounds treed him billy would get 2$. After Billy agreed they arranged a time and place. Billys granfather and him had a short talk and then he was off for home. The next day he went to the designated spot soon after him and the two boys started hunting. After lots of chasing from the dogs finally Billy thought that they had treed the coon but then he soon realized that he could no longer hear little and he knew that something was wrong. Little Ann had fallen into a hole she climbed out and started easing down the tree to the water, she had got a scent. She caught the coon and chased him. He got tired and went to the tree he always goes to when he gets tired.
