Chapter 1 : Cut the strips and rearrange them accordingly.

Their father tells Richard not to go hunting anymore if he dislikes it. He then asks Richard to help Gus in the cabin. In the hunting
cabin, Gus advises Richard to fit in with other people and be active in sports to be popular. He also tells him to try out for baseball
and get over his dislike for hunting to make their father proud of him.

Richard cannot understand why his father thinks that hunting is important and his father is sad that he cannot kill animals. Richard
recalls the day when his grandfather shot and killed a deer. He was only eight years old then, but he has felt sad about it all these
years. He writes a poem about it and feels a little better.

Richard locks up the poem with all the other poem he has return in his drawer. Nobody knows he writes poetry. He keeps it a secret
because as it is, people think he is strange.

At dawn, the next day, they follow the creek to a large pool and wait in the bushes. Richard prays silently that no deer will come.
Soon a large buck (male deer) comes to drink water. It is less than 50 feet away. Richard can shoot it but he purposely misses
shooting it.

Their father tells Gus to unload his gun and go back to the hunting cabin to pack all the things. He wants to talk to Richard.
Richard's father asks Richard why he deliberately missed shooting the deer. Richard tells him that he has no right to kill it. It's
painful and he feels sad to kill an animal.

The Knight family live on a farm near Turtle Lake in Iowa, America. One day in 1917 Richard, Pa and Richard's brother, Gus, hike
5 miles to their small hunting cabin in the woods. Richard is going to shoot his first deer the next day.
