30、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，突然感觉脚好像踩着针一样被扎了一下。我认为是踩在一堆蒺藜草上。 仔细一看，是一条响尾蛇。据说响尾蛇在袭击之前都要发出响声以示警告，我肯定是一脚踩到它的嘴巴里了。我边往家里飞奔，边大声喊叫，脑子里想的是自己肯定要死了。 妈妈赶快扯下围裙，用上面的袋子绑着我的膝盖上部。她让我在前屋的沙发上躺下，让玛莎照看我。当时家里既没有一个男人，场院里也没有一匹马。最近的住着是豪威尔先生家，但他家没有马。再远点是吉姆安德森家，穿过田地抄近路也有半英里的距离。妈妈冲向安德森家。安德森的一个儿子跳上马直奔城里，在安德森

31、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。妈妈重新绑上，她用力拉紧带子以致于我尖叫起来。 然后，妈妈又到门廊下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开垦地之间，一直延伸到小高地顶端，因此只要有人马越过高地顶端，你就可以看到他们的轮廓。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，汤姆就会因为急着想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。 给赫伯安徳森下的指示是首先找到爸爸，如果不能马上找到就找麦肯齐医生，再不成就找菲尔德或别的医生。 妈妈一边盯着看谁的马车先出现，一边不时地进屋

32、力求制止我嚎叫。终于，妈妈说道： “你爸爸来了。”Im Nobody !
