Section titled “Translated text”It may sometimes happen that a “story” in snow or sand is natural; one should then make use of it.
I had the opportunity to exploit the following event. I was leading a scout camp in the Rudawska Forest. One day, a calf was purchased, quartered, and placed in cauldrons, which were then set in water at the lake’s edge (as a cooler). Having the habit of rising early before the participants, I noticed that one of the cauldrons was overturned. Upon closer inspection, I found animal tracks on the lakeside beach, indicating that it had dragged a quarter of the calf and other parts from the cauldron and carried them into nearby bushes. There were many signs of the animal stopping and consuming the meat.
I ordered tracking before washing and breakfast. The story was more or less accurately read by everyone in the troop. With great interest, they deduced and finally concluded, after a joint discussion, that it was a wolf and that they should lie in wait for it the following night. This led to a new and interesting exercise, which I utilized. After a few days, disappointment followed, as a large dog, managing the storeroom, was caught instead.
