Okay, George, just brush aside that breechclout, and rummage around for
your quiver. Got any arrows left? All you need is two. Tie a string to
one, lob an arrow over your Floragold, and it should trail the string over
the top of the tree. Then lob your other arrow (string attached) over the
tree, and tie the ends of your strings to your net. Where the string goes,
the net will follow. Voila! One thing though, you might scare your
neighbors if you go out there nekkid with a bow and arrows. Don't do any
war whooping. Margaret L
