The ground was black with ants, great energetic ants that took no notice of him, but hurried towards the fighting shape. And as he drew in his breath and pit

41、y and terror seized him, the beast fell and the screaming stopped. Now he could hear nothing but a bird singing, and the sound of the rustling (沙沙声 ) whispering ants.

A few were standing and gazing up at him with small glittering eyes. “Go away!“ he said to the ants coldly. “I am not for younot just yet, at any rate.“ He bent over the bones and touched the sockets(孔 ) in the skull: that was where the eyes were, he thought suspiciously, r

47、emembering the liquid eyes of a deer. That morning, perhaps an hour ago, this small creature had been stepping proud and free through the bush even as he himself had done. Proudly stepping the earth, it had smelt the cold morning air. Walking like kings, it had moved freely through this bush, where

48、each blade of grass grew for it alone, and where the river ran pure sparkling water for it to drink. And then what had happened?
