I was riding along the road when I heard someone shouting behind me. It was a young shepherd(牧羊人). He was running across a field, and pointing at something.
I looked and saw two wolves running across the field. One was full grown, the other was a cub. The cub had on his back a lamb(羔羊)which had just been killed, and he had the leg in his mouth. The old wolf was running behind.
As soon as I saw the wolves, I joined the shepherd and we started in pursuit(追赶), setting up a shout.
When they heard, some peasants started out also in pursuit, with their dogs.
As soon as the old wolf caught sight of the dogs and the men, be ran to the young one, snatched the lamb from him, threw it over his back, and both wolves increased their pace and were soon lost from view.

Behind our house is the start of a fascinating trail (小径). This trail is one of the old roads that wind through untold miles of forest. My 1 , Beans, and I walk the trail frequently. Normally, Beans sniffs alongside the 2 to follow the smell of a deer track or 3 some cause known only to him.

we tell him, but also often makes sounds as if he were trying to 5 back.
One morning, we took a different route, which led us to a(n) 6 trail. I was sure this trail would eventually lead us to our familiar 7 . But, no. We seemed to be far off course. After two hours, I suddenly realized that Beans probably 8 the way home. So I urged, "Beans, take me home." He ran down a new trail. But it merely led to an intersection (岔道口) of trails.

He was just having too much fan exploring new trails.
