the forest man

The forest man He had bought a cabin in the woods near a lake he planned to go there after his divorce with no demand on his time, life would be simpler first of all, he needed a dog, the one he had was a poodle, his ex-wife could take the mooch he needed a strong dog that could feed itself catching rabbits in the glen The cabin only had one room, a big room he could make a kitchen in a corner, for the he needed a hand pump and dig a Hole for a cisterna. bedroom and living room together was ok, he had a sofa bed but needed a couple of chairs He also had to build a shed, an empty plastic drum to sit on and empty his own effluence twice a week So much to do! perhaps he should get one more dog, the one offered him by a farmer, had a white snout liked to sit on the sunny side and snooze he had to remember to buy tins of dry dog food to buy provision, he needed transport, a mule would do, so he had to build a stable No electricity, so he had to buy batteries and candles so much to do! I met a forest man in a tavern he had a cabin in the woods, near a lake, for sale.
