Jim came home and went to bed. He said he had taken some medicine but that made him very uncomfortable.
The next morning Jim was fine. Henry seemed quite all right, too. At 8:00 the milkman came with the milk. "How's your dog this morning?” he asked. "Yesterday morning he and I had a little accident. He jumped at me, and I dropped a bottle of milk on his head.”

If you don't think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches （树枝），make yourself a bed with leaves and grass. When you need some water, you have to leave your little branch house to look for it. Don't just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop （扔卜）them as you walk in order to go back again easily.
