He unfortunately he falls into a trap and is captured as a trophy to go back to England. The tribesman is clever enough to escape - much to the surprise of the hunter.

- Write letters home from the hunter describing what he has captured.
- Write a newspaper report about the event.
- Lots of discussions to be had about the morals of colonisation.
-link to destruction of rainforest and tribal customs in South America.
- Write some dialogue between the tribesmen, discussing what they should do with the hunter.
A chase ensues and there can only be one winner! Who will it be?
