Characters:

Buck —a dog

Judge (法官) Miller—Buck's owner

Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would know that trouble was coming.

In fact, trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair. This was because men, going throw the Arctic (北極的) darkness, had found a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.

Buck lived at Judge Miller’s house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stable (馬廄), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He protected the judge's sons and daughters on long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights, he lay at the Judge's feet in front of the warm library fire. He was king—King over everything, crawled (爬行), walked, or flew at Judge Miller's place, including humans.

Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897 when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of the gardener's helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble (賭博). He believed he could win but he was doomed (注定) to failure.

On the night of Manuel's betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck go off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck's neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger's hands, he barked. Then, the rope tightened (收緊) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (渾濁), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car.

(Adapted from The Call of the Wild by Jack London)

Tony, a nine-year-old kid, is sitting at his desk when suddenly he wets (尿濕) his pants. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he can't possibly know how this has happened. It has never happened before. He knows the after-effect (后果) -When the boys find out, he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.

Tony puts his head down and say to himself, "Oh, no. What can I do? I need help now!"

He looks up and notices the teacher coming, with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.

Now all of a sudden, instead of being the person that everyone laughs at, Tony is the person of sympathy (同情). The person that everyone laughs at should be him, but now it is Emily.

She tries to help, but they tell her, "You've done enough, you stupid!"

At the end of the day, as they were waiting for the bus, Tony walks over to Emily and says in a low voice, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
