Told by Peter York.[1](1/ "tree and pragmatics")

Black Bear had a very good winter one time.[2](2/ "tree and pragmatics") It was a very hard winter for the smaller animals on account of the snow and frost and storms.[3](3/ "tree and pragmatics") This big Black Bear used to go on the deer runways and catch a deer and eat him up, and the Lynx used to watch the Black Bear climb up in a tree and jump on the deer as they passed along the runways, which they had in the winter months, and which was an easy thing for a big black bear to do.[4](4/ "tree and pragmatics") Once when the Lynx was very hungry he could not catch anything as there was too much snow.[5](5/ "tree and pragmatics") Well, he thought that he would try and kill a deer, so he went out on one of their runways and watched for a deer to come along.[6](6/ "tree and pragmatics") Soon he saw one coming and he climbed up a tree and when the deer came under the tree the Lynx jumped on his back.[7](7/ "tree and pragmatics") The Deer started off wild and went all over the woods, but the Lynx still held on having a good hold and the Deer could not shake him off.[8](8/ "tree and pragmatics") The Deer knew that there was a leaning tree in the bush so he made for that, knowing that he could knock the Lynx off as he ran under the tree.[9](9/ "tree and pragmatics") The Deer ran very fast and as he ran under the tree there happened to be a knot on the under side of the tree where the Deer went, so the Lynx got his back skinned from his head to his tail.[10](10/ "tree and pragmatics") It also just happened that an Indian was out hunting that way and tracking deer.[11](11/ "tree and pragmatics") He saw a deer track which was a very bad one with blood all over.[12](12/ "tree and pragmatics") So he followed it up till he came to the Lynx lying dead and a little farther on he found the Big Buck dead too.[13](13/ "tree and pragmatics") The Deer had got so tired that he lay down and died.[14](14/ "tree and pragmatics") So the Indian had good luck finding them both.[15](15/ "tree and pragmatics")

NO. 17.[16](16/ "tree and pragmatics")
