Two men walked slowly, one after the other. All they could see were stones and earth. They had bags on their backs, but no food. They had guns, but no bullets.

Suddenly the man who followed fell over a stone. He hurt his foot badly and cried: "Bill. I've hurt my foot. Help me! "Bill continued straight on without looking back.

The man was alone in the empty land. His foot hurt, but it was nothing compared with his hunger. He had not eaten for many days and could hardly move his feet. Bill would be going to find the right way for them, he thought. He crawled about, on hands and knees: As he moved on, the bag became heavier and heavier. He opened the bag, which was full of small pieces of gold. He left the gold on a stone. In the evening, he built a fire and slept like a dead man.

Eleven days passed, days of rain and cold. One morning, he woke up and heard a noise behind him. Wolf, old and sick, was coming slowly toward him. He rose to his feet and moved forward, knowing well the sick wolf was following him. Later, he found some bones . Beside the bones was a small bag of gold, like his own. So Bill had carried his gold to the end. He looked at the bones. Would he, too, be bones tomorrow? And why not? This was life. Then why was he not ready to die? It was the life in him, unwilling to die, that drove him on.

The man had lost everything-his gun, and his gold. Only the wolf accompanied him. At last he could go on no further. He fell. The wolf came close to him, but the man was ready. He got on top of the wolf and held its mouth closed. Then he bit it with his last strength . He held the wolf with his teeth and killed it, and then he fell on his back and fell asleep.

Later that day, the people on a ship saw something strange lying on the beach. It was moving toward them very slowly-perhaps twenty feet an hour. They took a careful look and could hardly believe their eyes-it was a man!
