Again
I
ran
after
him
,
and
again
he
ran
into
the
cave
;
but
this
time
I
stopped
at
the
mouth
.
I
dropped
back
a
short
distance
and
watched
.
He
did
not
come
out
,
yet
,
as
before
,
he
chuckled
at
my
elbow
and
was
chased
by
me
a
third
time
into
the
cave
.
152
This
performance
was
repeated
several
times
.
Then
I
followed
him
into
the
cave
,
where
I
searched
vainly
for
him
.
I
was
curious
.
I
could
not
understand
how
he
eluded
me
.
Always
he
went
into
the
cave
,
never
did
he
come
out
of
it
,
yet
always
did
he
arrive
there
at
my
elbow
and
mock
me
.
Thus
did
our
fight
transform
itself
into
a
game
of
hide
and
seek
.
153
All
afternoon
,
with
occasional
intervals
,
we
kept
it
up
,
and
a
playful
,
friendly
spirit
arose
between
us
.
In
the
end
,
he
did
not
run
away
from
me
,
and
we
sat
together
with
our
arms
around
each
other
.
A
little
later
he
disclosed
the
mystery
of
the
wide
-
mouthed
cave
.
Holding
me
by
the
hand
he
led
me
inside
.
It
connected
by
a
narrow
crevice
with
another
cave
,
and
it
was
through
this
that
we
regained
the
open
air
.

We
were
now
good
friends
.
When
the
other
young
ones
gathered
around
to
tease
,
he
joined
with
me
in
attacking
them
;
and
so
viciously
did
we
behave
that
before
long
I
was
let
alone
.
Lop
-
Ear
made
me
acquainted
with
the
village
.
There
was
little
that
he
could
tell
me
of
conditions
and
customs
he
had
not
the
necessary
vocabulary
;
but
by
observing
his
actions
I
learned
much
,
and
also
he
showed
me
places
and
things
.
155
He
took
me
up
the
open
space
,
between
the
caves
and
the
river
,
and
into
the
forest
beyond
,
where
,
in
a
grassy
place
among
the
trees
,
we
made
a
meal
of
stringy
-
rooted
carrots
156
After
that
we
had
a
good
drink
at
the
river
and
started
up
the
run
-
way
to
the
caves
.
157
It
was
in
the
run
-
way
that
we
came
upon
Red
-
Eye
again
.
The
first
I
knew
,
Lop
-
Ear
had
shrunk
away
to
one
side
and
was
crouching
low
against
the
bank
.
Naturally
and
involuntarily
,
I
imitated
him
.
Then
it
was
that
I
looked
to
see
the
cause
of
his
fear
.
It
was
Red
-
Eye
,
swaggering
down
the
centre
of
the
run
-
way
and
scowling
fiercely
with
his
inflamed
eyes
.
I
noticed
that
all
the
youngsters
shrank
away
from
him
as
we
had
done
,
while
the
grown
-
ups
regarded
him
with
wary
eyes
when
he
drew
near
,
and
stepped
aside
to
give
him
the
centre
of
the
path
.

As
twilight
came
on
,
the
open
space
was
deserted
.
The
Folk
were
seeking
the
safety
of
the
caves
.
Lop
-
Ear
led
the
way
to
bed
.
High
up
the
bluff
we
climbed
,
higher
than
all
the
other
caves
,
to
a
tiny
crevice
that
could
not
be
seen
from
the
ground
.
Into
this
Lop
-
Ear
squeezed
.
I
followed
with
difficulty
,
so
narrow
was
the
entrance
,
and
found
myself
in
a
small
rock
-
chamber
.
It
was
very
low
not
more
than
a
couple
of
feet
in
height
,
and
possibly
three
feet
by
four
in
width
and
length
.
Here
,
cuddled
together
in
each
other
s
arms
,
we
slept
out
the
night
.
159
While
the
more
courageous
of
the
youngsters
played
in
and
out
of
the
large
-
mouthed
caves
,
I
early
learned
that
such
caves
were
unoccupied
.
No
one
slept
in
them
at
night
.
Only
the
crevice
-
mouthed
caves
were
used
,
the
narrower
the
mouth
the
better
.
This
was
from
fear
of
the
preying
animals
that
made
life
a
burden
to
us
in
those
days
and
nights
.
160
The
first
morning
,
after
my
night
s
sleep
with
Lop
-
Ear
,
I
learned
the
advantage
of
the
narrow
-
mouthed
caves
.
It
was
just
daylight
when
old
Saber
-
Tooth
,
the
tiger
,
walked
into
the
open
space
.
Two
of
the
Folk
were
already
up
.
They
made
a
rush
for
it
.
Whether
they
were
panic
-
stricken
,
or
whether
he
was
too
close
on
their
heels
for
them
to
attempt
to
scramble
up
the
bluff
to
the
crevices
,
I
do
not
know
;
but
at
any
rate
they
dashed
into
the
wide
-
mouthed
cave
wherein
Lop
-
Ear
and
I
had
played
the
afternoon
before
.
