There were other fishing boats out that morning. The sky was blue and the breeze soft and fresh.
Suddenly the soft breeze changed. It began to blow wildly. The fisherman's boat was seized by the wind and whirled around. The sky darkened. Rain began to fall.
″It's a hurricane!″said the fisherman.″ A hurricane blowing onshore. The man thought of his dog at once. Had the dog left the ridge and run home? Or was he still sitting there? The fisherman tried to steer(驾驶)his boat and turn it toward the shore. Suddenly a great wave swept over his head and tossed the boat away.
When dawn came next morning, the hurricane was over. The sky was blue once more. The sea was so calm it was hard to believe it was the same sea that had roared(咆哮) and raged(狂暴) the night before. When the sun rose over the mountains, the families of the other fishermen ran to the shore. They watched for(盼望) the return of the boats. They waited and waited, but no one returned.
Then the people went slowly back to their homes to endure their grief(悲痛) and start a new life. As they rebuilt their village, no one gave a thought to the fisherman's dog.
Several months later a group of villagers was out gathering sea grapes(无贼乱,马尾藻) . They noticed what appeared to be the figure of dog sitting high on the ridge above the lagoon.
″Look,″ said one. ″Isn't that the old fisherman's dog?″
