The dog whimpered (呜咽) and pawed (抓挠) at the leg of the dead man.
“It’s no good,” said the boy. “He’s not going to move. He’s …”
He couldn’t bring himself to say the word dead. Instead, he said, “Passed on.”
The dog whimpered again and then sat on the ground. It looked at the boy expectantly as if waiting for his advice.
The boy looked up at the steep cliff face (峭壁) and pointed in that direction. “That’s where we have to go,” he said. “We have to go up there before the sun set. Somehow or other. That’s the only way we can get home.”
The dog gave one more whimper and began to walk downhill as if refusing to accept his suggestion.
“Not down there. This way, let’s go home.” The boy shouted hurriedly, waiting for the dog to return. The dog turned around and looked at the boy for a while. But then it continued its own journey.
“Come back. Not that way. It’s too far. And you might get lost.” The boy shouted at the dog again.
The dog paid no attention this time and soon disappeared behind a clump of ferns (一丛蕨类植物). The boy followed without thinking twice. Soon the boy lost all sense of where he was. The golden red sun was setting and it was getting cold. The only direction he could be sure of was down. And suddenly he was on his own.
“Come back, dog,” he shouted. “Don’t leave me. I’ll freeze (冻死). And so will you.” There was no reply from the silent forest. He looked around and up. One gum tree loomed (赫然耸现) above all the others.
“I won’t move out of sight of that gum tree,” he thought to himself. He didn’t dare to go far, just circling the gum tree.
“Where are you hiding, dog?” he said.
