In the West Bottom we raised watermelons and
muskmelons for the market,but the house melon-and-
garden patch was back of the barn on the edge of the
cane field,One day I took a corn knife from the tool
shed and went out to get me a watermelon for my own
use,I was forbidden to carry a corn knife,which had a
blade longer than my arm,But it was the best thing
there was for cutting a melon,One swipe and your
melon was in two,
I was going along thumping melons for a ripe one
when all at once my foot seemed to come down on
something like a needle,I thought I had stepped into a
mess of sandburs,

stepped right into his mouth,I lit out for the house,
yelling,I was sure I was going to die,That was all I

tight that I screamed,
Then mamma went to the porch to watch the road
from town,Following the line between the Anderson
and the Howell claim,the road ran along the crest of a
rise so that you got the silhouette of anything that
passed over it,I could always pick out our buggy and
Tom,especially with papa driving,Anxious to get his
nose in the manger,Tom would break into a gallop if
you would let him and papa always did,

我们在西波顿种植西瓜和香瓜供应市场。
我家有一块瓜地和花圃在紧靠甘蔗地的谷仓背
后。一天，我从工具棚里拿了把镰刀想去砍个
西瓜自己吃。他们是不许我拿这把刀的，因为
它的刀刃比我的胳膊还长。但它是切西瓜的最
好工具。一刀下去，西瓜就一分为二了。
我正沿着瓜地边走边拍打着想找一个熟瓜，
突然感觉脚好像被针一样的东西扎了一下。我
为是踩在一堆蒺藜草上了。
响尾蛇伤
转眼一看，却发现是一条响尾蛇。我知道响尾蛇
在袭击之前都要发出响声以示警告的，而我对那响声
的熟悉程度决不亚于我熟悉鹌鹑。后来我才明白它是
没有时间警告，我肯定是一脚踩在它的嘴巴上了。我
边往家飞奔，边大声喊叫，满脑子想的都是自己肯定
要死了。
妈妈赶快解下围裙用上面的带子绑在我的膝盖上
部。她扶我到前屋的沙发上躺下，让玛莎照看我。当
时在场的既没有一个男人也没有一匹马。最近的住宅
是豪威尔先生家，但他家没有马。再远点的是吉姆 ?
安德森家，穿过田地抄近路也有半英里的距离。
响尾蛇伤
妈妈冲向安德森家 。 安德森的一个儿子跳上马就直奔
城里, 在安德森家打工的克拉克的儿子用车把妈妈送回
家 。 回到家, 妈妈发现围裙带已被玛莎解开了, 因为我
直叫系得太紧 。 妈妈给我重新绑上, 她用力很猛以致于
我失声叫了起来 。
然后, 妈妈又到门廊朝那条通往城里的路张望 。
这条路位于安德森和豪威尔两家领地中间, 一直延伸到
小山顶端, 因此从这里你可以看见所有路过的人或物 。
我总是远远就能辨认出我们的马车和汤姆, 尤其是爸爸
赶车的时候 。 这时, 如果得到允许, 汤姆就会因为急于
吃到马槽里的东西而撒腿跑起来, 爸爸也总是允许它这
么做的 。
响尾蛇伤
响尾蛇伤
赫伯 ·安德森的意见是首先找爸爸, 如果他不在就
找麦肯斯医生, 再不成就找菲尔德或别的医生 。
妈妈一边盯着看谁的马先出现, 一边不时地进屋
安慰我 。
终于，妈妈说道：“你爸爸来了。”
