One winter morning I found myself standing near a fireplace, warming my hands and listening to the wind. All morning my mother had been scolding me, telling me to keep still, warming that I must make no noise. And I was angry and impatient. In the next room Grandmother was ill, and I knew that I would be punished if I did not obey. I crossed to the window and pushed back the long white curtains—which my mother had forbidden me to touch – and looked out into the empty street. I was dreaming of running and playing, but the thought of Grandmother’s old, white, wrinkled face, lying upon a huge pillow, made me afraid.

All around me was a vast expanse(廣闊之地)；no travelers or birds. At night there were glimmerings of monstrous fires, shining like stars; in the daytime the frightening winds hugged the sand and scattered it like rain. Even though I had met with this disaster, my heart was not afraid. My only worry was the lack of water because in my thirst I could not push on. For four nights and five days I had not a single drop to moisten (潤溼) my throat.
