The Thief and His Master

·         A man apprentices his son to a master thief, who says that if he can recognize his son in a year, he won't need to pay for the apprenticeship, whereas if he doesn'trecognize his son, he'll have to pay the master thief for his time. 

·         The man agrees, and then receives advice from a dwarf about putting out bread, which makes his son in bird-form peek out. The man claims his son and they leave without paying the master thief.

·         The son transforms himself into a greyhound, which the man sells to a nobleman. The son runs away after the father has the money. They repeat the ploy with the son as a horse, but the father forgets to take off the bridle, so the son cannot escape when the master thief (in disguise, duh) purchases him and takes him home.

·         When the bridle's finally taken off, the son becomes a bird, but so does the master thief, and they have a shape-changing contest. 

·         Finally, the master thief becomes a rooster, and the boy becomes a fox, who bites off the rooster's head. 

·         So the son is free to go.

Quite the challenge on wet ground to get to that one. I sure hope the rain isn't socked in but I'm afraid it might be.

Thanks, RubiconNomad! I like this series. I thought that this would be a good morning to go up into the mountains for some caches. I was here a couple weeks ago near Nederland, and I wanted to go up Caribou Road some more with the Forester. Unfortunately I found the road closed at one point, so I walked until the snow-ice ridges across the road got to be too much, so I will have to come back here later in the summer. So I went north into Gilpin County where the roads were open to finish my morning. I run a pocket query of the area so I always have plenty of caches to look for, and I do not depend on my phone. I love it around here.
