Puerto Rico many years ago near the Condado Lagoon, there lived a poor fisherman. He lived alone in a hut(小屋) . His only companion was his dog.
The fisherman and his dog were devoted to each other. They might be seen strolling(散步) on the white sandy beach, or they might be seen coming through the tangle of vines(藤蔓植物) a long the road that led to San Juan. However, there was one place where nobody saw them together. That was in the fisherman's boat. The man never took the dog along with him.
But the dog was always beside his master as the fisherman made his little boat ready to sail. When the man pulled out to sea each morning, the dog would scamper(奔跑) up on the high ridge(山脊,山脉) that separated the Condado Lagoon from the open sea. There he would sit and watch all day. The dog never moved until late afternoon when he saw the little boat return. Then he would race back to the shore to greet his master. And together the man and the dog would set off for(动身去) San Juan to sell the fresh-caught fish.
As the years went by, the fisherman grew older. So did the faithful dog. The fisherman still went out to sea. The dog still watched for his return, sitting on the high ridge above the lagoon(泻湖,环礁湖) .
One morning early in September, the fisherman was getting his little boat ready. All at once(突然) the dog began to bark and howl . He circled around the fisherman and tugged(扯) at his trousers. The fisherman could not remember when he had seen his dog act so strangely. He patted the dog's back, thinking the dog wanted to play. But nothing made any difference. The dog kept barking. The fisherman laughed and continued getting ready. Finally he gave the dog another pat. Then the man climbed into the boat and sailed away. The dog went to his watching place, still barking and howling.
