One of the most unusual of all tall tale animals is the sidehill dodger. It spends its entire life on
a single hill. This is because the legs on the downhill side of the dodger are longer than the legs
of the uphill side. The dodger can run more quickly than a horse. It will only run around and
around the hill. It can't go up or down the hill at all without tangling its legs. This has given
it the worst temper of any beast in the entire world. A sidehill dodger is almost always angry.
Luckily, the dodger isn't too hard to avoid. Just wait until it is almost upon you. Take two or
three steps downhill. There the dodger can't reach you. It will gnash and stomp and rush away
to hide in shame. The dodgers are almost always ashamed and hiding. That is why you hardly
see one.
