A
water
snake
glided
smoothly
up
the
pool
,
twisting
its
periscope
head
from
side
to
side
;
and
it
swam
the
length
of
the
pool
and
came
to
the
legs
of
a
motionless
heron
that
stood
in
the
shallows
.
A
silent
head
and
beak
lanced
down
and
plucked
it
out
by
the
head
,
and
the
beak
swallowed
the
little
snake
while
its
tail
waved
frantically
.
A
far
rush
of
wind
sounded
and
a
gust
drove
through
the
tops
of
the
trees
like
a
wave
.
The
sycamore
leaves
turned
up
their
silver
sides
,
the
brown
,
dry
leaves
on
the
ground
scudded
a
few
feet
.
And
row
on
row
of
tiny
wind
waves
flowed
up
the
pool
’
s
green
surface
.
As
quickly
as
it
had
come
,
the
wind
died
,
and
the
clearing
was
quiet
again
.
The
heron
stood
in
the
shallows
,
motionless
and
waiting
.
Another
little
water
snake
swam
up
the
pool
,
turning
its
periscope
head
from
side
to
side
.
Suddenly
Lennie
appeared
out
of
the
brush
,
and
he
came
as
silently
as
a
creeping
bear
moves
.
The
heron
pounded
the
air
with
its
wings
,
jacked
itself
clear
of
the
water
and
flew
off
down
river
.
The
little
snake
slid
in
among
the
reeds
at
the
pool
’
s
side
.
Lennie
came
quietly
to
the
pool
’
s
edge
.
He
knelt
down
and
drank
,
barely
touching
his
lips
to
the
water
.
When
a
little
bird
skittered
over
the
dry
leaves
behind
him
,
his
head
jerked
up
and
he
strained
toward
the
sound
with
eyes
and
ears
until
he
saw
the
bird
,
and
then
he
dropped
his
head
and
drank
again
.
When
he
was
finished
,
he
sat
down
on
the
bank
,
with
his
side
to
the
pool
,
so
that
he
could
watch
the
trail
’
s
entrance
.
He
embraced
his
knees
and
laid
his
chin
down
on
his
knees
.
The
light
climbed
on
out
of
the
valley
,
and
as
it
went
,
the
tops
of
the
mountains
seemed
to
blaze
with
increasing
brightness
.
Lennie
said
softly
,
«
I
di
’
n
’
t
forget
,
you
bet
,
God
damn
.
Hide
in
the
brush
an
’
wait
for
George
.
»
He
pulled
his
hat
down
low
over
his
eyes
.
«
George
gonna
give
me
hell
,
"
he
said
.
«
George
gonna
wish
he
was
alone
an
’
not
have
me
botherin
’
him
.
»
He
turned
his
head
and
looked
at
the
bright
mountain
tops
.
«
I
can
go
right
off
there
an
’
find
a
cave
,
"
he
said
.
And
he
continued
sadly
,
«
—
an
’
never
have
no
ketchup
—
but
I
won
’
t
care
.
If
George
don
’
t
want
me
.
.
.
I
’
ll
go
away
.
I
’
ll
go
away
.
»
And
then
from
out
of
Lennie
’
s
head
there
came
a
little
fat
old
woman
.
She
wore
thick
bull
’
s
-
eye
glasses
and
she
wore
a
huge
gingham
apron
with
pockets
,
and
she
was
starched
and
clean
.
She
stood
in
front
of
Lennie
and
put
her
hands
on
her
hips
,
and
she
frowned
disapprovingly
at
him
.
