“Man with Wooden Leg Escapes Prison” by James Tate 🇺🇸 (8 Dec 19438 Jul 2015)
Man with wooden leg escapes prison. He’s caught. They take his wooden leg away from him. Each day he must cross a large hill and swim a wide river to get to the field where he must work all day on one leg. This goes on for a year. At the Christmas Party they give him back his leg. Now he doesn’t want it. His escape is all planned. It requires only one leg.
