The Yedi

An English explorer was taking part in an expedition to the Himalayas.

Led by a grizzled local guide, they ascended one of the less
frequently climbed peaks. Roughly half way up the side of the
mountain, one of the expedition came across a set of large manlike
tracks in the snow.

"Yeti tracks" the guide said with a gruff voice as he passed them,
"One thing you must know before we proceed; Do not, under any
circumstances, touch the yeti."

The expedition heeded his warning and continued to climb the slope,
night fell and the explorers set up their tents. In the dead of night
the Englishman awoke to the sound of his tent entrance unzipping.
Half asleep he looked up to see an enormous eight foot yeti standing
above him. In fear for his life the explorer jumped up and ran out of
the tent, banging into the yeti in the process. The yeti, after being
touched by the explorer let out a deafening howl and began to chase
the explorer down the slope.

The explorer ran away from the camp as quickly as his legs could take
him, after he rounded a corner he looked behind him to see the
bounding form of the yeti still chasing him.

So the explorer continued to run, reaching the bottom of the mountain
in just two days, exhausted he paused to rest awhile. After just a
few moments, the explorer began to hear the soft 'thud thud thud' of
yeti feet on snow, he looked up the slope to see the yeti still
chasing him and only moments away.

The explorer took off again, reaching a supply shack a couple of
miles away, once there quickly buying a mountain bike and pedalling
his way to the nearest town, some fifty miles away. The journey took
him several days over the rough terrain and after his arrival he
booked into a hotel to recuperate. Two days later the man left his
hotel to see about booking transport back to England. As soon as he
turned around though he saw the form of the yeti on the horizon,
bounding towards him at great speed.

Mortified by this sight, the explorer hurriedly bought a car and
drove it away from the village all the way to Delhi. Once he arrived,
the man wasted no time in getting on the next plane to London.

After his arrival back in London, the man went back to his London
home for a while to recover and to plan his next expedition. He had
been there less than two weeks and was gazing out of a window when he
saw a familiar large bounding, manlike creature running down his
street; the man couldn't believe it, somehow the yeti had followed
him to England!

The man had little choice but to run away again, he used any means he
could, bike, car, or on foot to try to escape the yeti, but each time
he looked behind him, it was just moments before the yeti came into
view.

Eventually the man made it all the way to Edinburgh and from there
ran into the open Scottish countryside. He continued to run but the
yeti just kept getting closer and closer, and in the end the man
could run no more.

With the yeti less than a minute away from him, the man finally
stopped and turned around to face the oncoming creature. With the
last of his strength he stood up straight as the yeti caught up with
him. The eight foot tall yeti towered above the man who could only
stare in terror. The yeti extended his hand and poked the Englishman
squarely in the chest with one long finger and with a low rumbling
voice the yeti began to speak: …

"Tag! You’re it!"
