At the beginning of the book of The Sign of the Beaver, Matt's dad dropped him off in the woods. And while Matt was in the woods he met a guy named Ben. While Matt was out doing stuff and he let Ben stay at the cabin, Ben took the rifle that Matt had gotten from his father while his father was getting his family to pick them up so they could move into the woods too with Matt. After Ben took the rifle, a bear got into Matt's house and took the honey from the cabin.
Ben was trying to get some water by his cabin and got stung a lot of times. And he went to the river and it didn't work so two Indians saved him. The indian grandfather said can you teach my grandson to read we signed a contract that let some people take our land so that's why the grandfather wanted his grandson to learn how to read.
Matt thought the indian boy didn't want to learn how to read because he didn't have a nice smile on his face. The indian kid after a few days started teaching Matt how to be like him. Like how to hunt fish without using a pole, how to hunt animals in the forest and do things like Indians.
