“He couldn’t believe that he had successfully eluded the redskin savages, but he had, by climbing high into a tree and crouching amid the thick foliage.Even if the warriors had looked up and tried to peer through the leaves, they couldn’t have seen him. He had clung to the tree while the Indians rode past below him.He smiled at his cleverness. He had often hidden in a tree when he and his three brothers and one sister had played games of hide-and-seek. No one could find him until they finally le...arned that he would always use that trick.Once he had been found out, the game was over for him. He had never successfully hidden himself again.That was when he learned tricks with cards, for that was another way to best his brothers and sister. He never wanted to lose at anything.
