B
White Fang sensed something terrible. He gave a low and sad howl(嚎叫) outside.
In fact, Scott was sad too. He was sad about the idea of leaving White Fang, but he knew the place like California wasn’t suitable for a dog. Five or six times he changed his mind. But in the end he decided firmly(坚定地) not to take him. He told himself, “He would hate living in a city, anyway.”
Then White Fang saw his love-master packing his things into a bag. His god was going away again, and, like last time, he wasn’t taking White Fang with him. That night he howled long, pointing his nose to the stars and telling them of his sadness.
The next day Scott called White Fang into the room. “You poor thing,” he said, rubbing his ears. “I’m starting the long trail, where you cannot follow. Now give me a last goodbye howl.” But White Fang didn’t howl. He put his head between his master’s arm and body. Then, at that moment from the Yukon River, the boat’s whistle sounded.
“You need to go now,” said Matt. The two men locked the doors and went outside. From inside they could hear White Fang howling more and more loudly. He was howling like dogs do when their master is dead.
Down by the river, everything was busy. The two men stood shaking hands, but Matt’s hand suddenly dropped as he saw White Fang sitting on the deck(甲板) a few metres away. Scott saw him as well.
When Scott patted the dog, he noticed blood on his nose and a fresh cut between his eyes. The boat’s whistle sounded again. Scott bent down to White Fang. “Howl for me now, you brave guy!” White Fang howled happily and knew he would stay with his god all the time.
