25、ish in Laguna San lgnacio. Hundreds of gray whales were swimming in the three-mile-long, one-mile-wide inlet. This was usual between December and April, for the whales breed in the protected inlets of Baja, the final destination of their annual 6,000-mile migration from the Arctic. Mayoral and Perez

26、 stayed as for as possible from the spouting (喷涌 ) creatures, because the whales were said to smash boats with their powerful flukes (鲸尾的叶 ). Mayoral, who had 16 years experience at sea, knew no one who had been close to a healthy gray whale and lived. As Mayoral rowed to catch the outgoing (退出去的 )

27、tide, he saw, straight ahead, a whale approaching. Heart pounding, the 31-year-old turned the little wooden boat and pulled hard for shore. Try as he might, however, he could not row over the huge beast. In moments, it overtook them. Expecting the worst, the fishermen dropped to their knees and made

28、 the sign of the cross. The whale raised its nine-foot head out of the water and looked at them. Then, remarkably, it began to rub gently against the boat. Sinking and resurfacing(重新露出水面 ) on opposite sides of the boat, the whale continued its gentle rubbing for almost an hour. At first the men pray

29、ed, frozen in fear. But gradually Mayoral s terror gave way to curiosity. He was tempted to reach out and touch this oddly unthreatening monster, but a lifetime of caution kept him still. At last, having finished with whatever its purpose had been, the whale disappeared below the surface. Some time

30、passed before either man spoke. Then they headed home. To his wife, Mayoral said only, “No fish today.“ But word spread through the cluster of small wooden houses near the salt-water lake. A strange thing had happened: one of the whales had tried to touch the men, and the men had returned unharmed.

31、Why? In nights to come, by faint kerosene lamps, Mayoral and Perez told the story. They and other fishermen struggled to understand.

Around him the grass was whispering and alive. He looked wildly about, then down. The ground was black with ants, great energeti

37、c ants that took no notice of him, but hurried towards the fighting shape. And as he drew in his breath and pity and terror seized him, the beast fell and the screaming stopped. Now he could hear nothing but a bird singing, and the sound of the rustling (沙沙声 ) whispering ants. He peered over at the

38、blackness that twitched with the jerking(抽搐 ) nerves. It grew quieter. There were small twitches from the mass that still looked vaguely like the shape of a small animal. It came into his mind that he could shoot it and end its pain; and he raised the gun. Then he lowered it .again. The deer could n

39、o longer feel; its fighting was a mechanical protest of the nerves. But it was not that which made him put down the gun. It was a swelling feeling of rage and misery and protest that expressed itself in the thought: if I had not come it would have died like this, so why should I interfere? All over

40、the bush things like this happen; they happen all the time; this is how life goes on, by living things dying painfully. I cannot stop it. He was glad that the deer was unconscious and had gone past suffering so that he did not have to make a decision to kill it. At his feet, now, were ants tricking

41、back with pink fragments in their mouths and there was a fresh acid smell in his nose. He sternly controlled the uselessly convulsing(痉挛的 ) muscles of his empty stomach, and reminded himself: the ants must eat too. The shape had grown small. Now it looked like nothing to be recognized. He saw the bl

42、ackness thin, and bits of white showed through, shining in the sun- yes, there was the sun just up. Then the boy looked at those insects. A few were standing and gazing up at him with small glittering eyes. “Go away!“ he said to the ants coldly. “I am not for you not just yet, at any rate.“ He bent

43、over the bones and touched the sockets(孔 ) in the skull: that was where the eyes were, he thought suspiciously, remembering the liquid eyes of a deer. That morning, perhaps an hour ago, this small creature had been stepping proud and free through the bush even as he himself had done. Proudly steppin

44、g the earth, it had smelt the cold morning air. Walking like kings, it had moved freely through this bush, where each blade of grass grew for it alone, and where the river ran pure sparkling water for it to drink. And then-what had happened? Such a sure swift footed thing could surely not be trapped
