공유의 해(The YEAR of SHARING) - 9

  "Can you run with that leg?"

  Baby's leg was hurting, but she ran when I ran. She was afraid of losing me. I was all she had.

  The wolves howled, not all the time but sometimes. I didn't know how near they were. Each howl went on for nearly a minute. Sometimes I didn't know if they were behind or in front of us.

  I saw light through the trees. I hurried and Baby came after me. Soon we came to open ground, and there it was - moonlight on water! Not a river, but a big lake.

  "It's a long swim, Baby," I told her, "but if we stay here, we'll die."

  Baby wasn't afraid of water. She followed me in and swam easily beside me. It was easier for her to swim than run with her bad leg.
