       有一次，他从昏迷中被一种喘息的声音惊醒了。他听到病狼喘着气，在慢慢地向他逼近。它愈来愈近，总是在向他逼近，好像经过了无穷的时间。他始终一动不动地躺在那儿，静静地等着。它已经到了他耳边，那条粗糙的干舌头正像砂纸一样地摩擦着他的两腮。他的两只手一下子伸了出来，他的指头弯得像鹰爪一样，可是抓了个空。

       狼的耐心真是可怕。人的耐心也同样可怕。

       这一天，有一半时间他都一直躺着不动，尽力和昏迷斗争，等着那个要把他吃掉，而他也希望能吃掉的东西。

       当他又一次从梦里慢慢苏醒过来的时候，觉得有条舌头在顺着他的一只手舔去。他静静地等着。狼牙轻轻地扣在他手上了，扣紧了。狼正在尽最后一点力量把牙齿咬进它等了很久的东西里面。突然，那只被咬破了的手抓住了狼的牙床。于是，慢慢地，就在狼无力地挣扎着，他的手无力地掐着的时候，他的另一只手也慢慢地摸了过去……

       五分钟之后，这个人已经把全身的重量都压在了狼的身上。他的手的力量虽然还不足以把狼掐死，可是他的脸已经紧紧地压住了狼的咽喉，嘴里已经满是狼毛。半小时后，这个人感到一小股温暖的液体慢慢流进他的喉咙。后来，这个人翻了一个身，仰面睡着了。
