Two ***n walk*** slowly, o*** after the other, through the low water of a river. It ran ***ld over their feet. They had blanket packs on their backs; guns, but no bullets; matches, but no food.
Sudde***y the man beh***d fell over a s******, hurt his foot badly and call***: "Hey, Bill, I've hurt my foot." Bill ***nt***u*** without look***g back.
The man was alo*** but not lost *** the empty land. He k***w the way *** camp, and its food and bullets. He struggl*** *** his feet and ***mp*** on. He had not eaten f*** two days. He p***k*** so*** small round, tasteless fruits. They did not sati**y, but he k***w he must eat them.
In the even***g he bui*** a fire and slept ***ke a dead man. When he woke up, he ***ok out a small bag weigh***g fifteen pounds. He wasn't sure he ***uld carry it any longer. But he ***uldn't le**e it beh***d. He had *** take it with him. He put it back ****** his pack, rose *** his feet and ***nt***u***.
His foot hurt, but it was noth***g ***mpar*** with his hunger, wh***h made him *** on until dark***ss fell. His blanket was wet, but he k***w o***y he was hungry. In his troubl*** sleep, he drea***d of r***h ***als. He woke up ***ld, s***k and lost; the small bag was still with him. As he pull*** himself along, the bag beca*** he**ier and he**ier.

Eleven ***ld, ra***y days pass***. Once he found so*** animal bo***s with no ***at on them. He broke them and ate them ***ke an animal. Would he, ***o, be bo***s ***m***row? Why not? This was ***fe. O***y ***fe hurt. There was no hurt *** death. To die was *** sleep. Then why was he not ready *** die? He, as a man, no longer desir***. Life *** him, unwil***ng *** die, drove him on.
O*** m***n***g he woke up beside a river. Slowly he follow*** it with his eyes and saw it empty***g ****** a sh******g sea. When he saw a ship, he clos*** his eyes. He k***w there ***uld be no ship, no sea, here. An imag****** p***ture, he thought. Hear***g a noise, he tur***d around. A wolf(狼), old and s***k, was ***m***g slowly ***ward him. This was real, he thought. He tur***d back; the sea and the ship were still there. He didn't understand. Had he been walk***g n***th, away from the camp, ***ward the sea? He start*** slowly ***ward the ship, know***g full well the s***k wolf was follow***g him. In the afternoon, he found the bo***s of a man. Beside the bo***s was a small bag of ***ld, ***ke his own. Bill had carri*** his ***ld *** the end; he would carry Bill's ***ld *** the ship. Ha-ha! He would h**e the last l***gh on Bill. His l***gh***g sound*** ***ke the low cry of an animal.

He was very s***k, now. He ***ch*** about on hands and k***es, h*****g lost everyth***g— his blanket, his gun, and his ***ld. O***y the wolf stay*** with him hour after hour.

The ***n on the ship saw a strange object ly***g on the beach. It was mo***ng ***ward them — perhaps twenty feet an hour. They went *** look and ***uld hardly be***eve it was a man.
Three weeks later, when he fe*** better, he ***ld them his s***ry. But there was o*** strange th***g: he fear*** there wasn't enough food on the ship. They also not****** he was gett***g fat. They g**e him less food, but still he grew fatter with each day. Then o*** day they saw him put so*** bread under his shirt. They search*** his b*** and found food under his blanket. They unders***od.
