One day, Gon went down to the river. He saw Hyoju. He was catching fish and eels. Gon decided to play a trick on him.
Gon took the fish out of Hyoju's basket and picked up the eel by his teeth. Just then, Hyoju came back and shouted, "Hey, you sly fox!" Gon jumped up and ran away with the eel.
Ten days later, Gon saw a line of people. They were wearing white clothes. "Maybe Hyoju's mother died," Gon said to himself.
That night, Gon thought, "When Hyoju's mother was sick, she wanted to eat eel. But I stole it. Ah, I'm sorry, Hyoju." Gon's heart sank.
From the next day, Gon brought many chestnuts and left them at Hyoju's house. One night, Hyoju said to his neighbor. "These days, strange things are happening. Every day, I find chestnuts at my door. Someone brings them when I'm not at home. If you don't believe me, come to my house tomorrow."
The next day, Gon brought chestnuts. But this time Hyoju saw him. "Is he here to play a trick again? I'll stop him." Hyoju picked up his rifle and shot. Bang!
Gon fell to the ground. Hyoju looked around and found the chestnuts. "It was you! You brought the chestnuts," he said. Gon nodded weakly. The rifle fell from Hyoju's hand. The smoke was still rising from the barrel.
