The Wild animal

 

  The wild animal was strong in Buck, and as he travelled across the snow, it grew stronger and stronger. And as Buck grew strongerer, he hated Spitz more and more, although he was careful never to start a fight.

  But Spitz was always showing his teeth to Buck, trying to start a fight. And Buck knew that if he and Spitz fought, one of them would die.

  The fight almost happened one night when they stopped by Lake Laberge. There was heavy snow and it was very cold. The lake was frozen and Francois, Perrault, and the dogs had to spend the night on the ice, under a big rock. Buck had made a warm hole in the snow and was sorry to leave it to get his piece of fish. But when he had eaten, and returned to his hole, he found Spitz in it. Buck had tried not to fight Spitz before, but this was too much. He attacked him angrily. Spitz was surprised. He knew Buck was big, but he didn't know he was so wild. Francois was surprised too, and guessed why Buck was angry.

 

첫 문장 빼고는 특별히 어렵지는 않습니다. 하지만 우리 글로 옮기기가 만만치 않아 보이는군요. 시험기간이라 많이 소홀하지만, 눈도장이라고 찍고 가면 어떨가, 하는 생각입니다. 시험에 너무 몰입해서 전체적인 공부의 흐름을 놓치는 것도 바람직한 일은 아니거든요. ㅎㅎㅎ 암튼 시험공부 열심히 해서 좋은 결과 있길 바랍니다.
