As they were out there hunting a bad storm came. Sooner than later they couldnt see anything and they lost the dogs. They listened and waited to hear just the slightest thing, but there was nothing. A tree fell and then that's when Billy got an idea. He turned to his dad and told him to shoot the gun because if Little Ann could hear it she would come to them. He shot the gun and she slowly started to appear but there was no sight of Old Dan. Billy told Little Ann to lead them to him and that's what she did. They found him treed he wouldnt leave and then they realized that the grandpa was gone. They went back for him and they found him with his face in the snow and he had a sprained ankle. They took him to shelter and made a big fire and went back to the dogs. They looked all around the tree, but couldnt see anything. Then Billy's father hit it a couple times and they realized that it was hollow. His father started chopping at it, he soon asked for the judges assistance to help him push it over. When they finally got it down the tree broke in half and inside were three coons. One got away but the dogs got two of them. When they went back to the fire Billy told his grandfather what happened and pointed in the direction of where the other coon had gone off to and right away the two hounds were off again. Billy took the skins of the coons, warmed them up on the fire and placed them on his grandfather's foot, he did that all night long.
