Question

  Tom was four years old,and he liked playing the game "Cowboys and Indians" very much. He had a cowboy suit and a belt with two guns,and spent most of his time in pretending to fight Indians.

  One day his mother took him on a train for the first time. Of course, he wore his cowboy suit and carried his two guns. He had seen a film of an attack by Red Indians on a train, so his mother was not surprised when he began playing "Cowboys and Indians" on the train. But when he wanted to open the window so that he could shoot out of it，she thought it was too dangerous，and allowed him to keep it open only at the top,so that he could shoot out of it if he stood up,but could not fall out.

  He was playing happily when he suddenly gave a cry,fell back onto the seat,and lay there with his arms hanging loosely beside him. Of course, his mother was afraid. She thought that something from outside the train had hit him as he stood at the window. She shook the child,but he didn't move.

  His mother was now very worried. She picked Tom up in her arms to go and find help,but just then he lifted one of his arms difficultly, pointed to his heart and said in a weak voice：" Pull the arrow out, will you?"
