Elijah finds strange tracks in his neighbor Cooter's driveway that the local preacher identifies as coming from a hoop snake, frightening Cooter inside. Elijah enjoys skipping rocks across a pond to catch fish using flies as bait at his secret fishing spot. At the local carnival, Elijah learns of a huntress named Madame Sabbar who has slain over 500 Swedish Moth Lions using only a slingshot. Elijah and his father spot some new people on their property behind an oak tree. Elijah believes he has been kidnapped by his neighbor Mr. Leroy and thinks he sees him standing over with an axe, but it was actually just his father who had been chasing after him.
