介绍:
“Well, what did I say? Buck is a real fighter, all right,” said Francois the next morning when he discovered that Spitz had disappeared and that Buck was covered with wounds.
“Spitz fought like a wolf,” said Perrault, as he looked at the bites all over Buck.
“And Buck fought like ten wolves,” answered Francois. “We’ll travel faster now. No more Spitz, no more trouble.”
Francois started to harness the dogs. He needed a new lead dog, and decided that Sol-leks was the best dog that he had. But Buck jumped on Sol-leks in anger and took his place.
“Look at Buck!” said Francois, laughing. “He killed Spitz, and now he wants to be lead dog. Go away, Buck!”
He pulled Buck away and tried to harness Sol-leks again． Sol-leks was unhappy, too． He was afraid of Buck, and when Francois turned his back, Buck took Sol-leks’ place again. Now Francois was angry.
“I’ll show you!” Francois cried, and went to get a heavy club from the sledge.
Buck remembered the man in the red coat, and moved away. This time, when Sol-leks was harnessed as lead dog, Buck kept a few metres away and circled around Francois carefully. When Francois called him to his old place in front of Dave, Buck refused. He had won his fight with Spitz and he wanted to be lead dog.
“Put down the club,” said Perrault.
Francois dropped the club, and immediately Buck came up to the front of the team. Francois harnessed him, and in a minute the sledge was moving.
Buck was an excellent leader. He moved and thought quickly and led the other dogs well．
