In the shrt time Steve and Zach had been inside their tent packing their tls, windblwn flame had skipped frm the tp f ne tree t anther. The lng dry summer had turned the frest int a tinderbx.
“Let's g! We can make it back t the river we crssed tday！” Steve kept Brady n the lead and their heads dwn against the firewind. But Brady barked a sharp warning. Ahead f them lay a thick curtain f smke acrss the track. They wuld never make it thrugh that. The dg was pulling at his lead trying t draw them away frm the smke, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed t him that they were mving away frm the river.
Suddenly, Zach cried. “Zach！” Steve shuted. “Are yu OK? Where are yu？” Then Brady pulled Steve dwn a sharp slpe (斜坡). At its base, Zach was rubbing his ankle.

Steve culdn't blame Brady fr panicking. He himself wanted t run even thugh he didn't have a clue which way t.

Of curse he remembered Brady saving his uncle's life when the dg was much yunger. Was he still sharp enugh t get them thrugh this?
Nearby, a pine went up in a whsh f smke. Brady pulled again, urgently. “OK, the big guy，” Steve gritted his teeth (咬紧牙关). Brady led them back dwn the slpe and int the trees. Nt far frm them fire was tuching underbrush. Several times the big dg stpped. Often he changed directins. Steve was s tired that he just wanted t rest, but Brady wuldn't have it. The dg bullied bth bys int ging n. Steve had n idea hw lng they'd walked. He was almst numb when he heard it—the wnderful sund f rushing water!
