The sun.-

The sun was so hot that Kino and Juana moved into the shade of the bushes.


Small birds moved about in the shade.



Kino covered his eyes with his hat and wrapped his blanquet around his face to keep the flies off.



Then he slept.



But Juana did not sleep. Her face was still full of pain because Kino had hit her.



Big flies flew around the cut on Juana´s chin.



When Coyotito woke up Juana put him on the ground and watched the baby wave his arms and kick his feet.




Coyotito smiled at Juana and Juana smiled too.




Juana played with Coyotito and gave him some water to drink.




Kino was dreaming in his sleep.





He moved about and cried out in a loud voice.




Kino hands moved as if he was fighting .





Suddenly he sat up.





He was breathing deeply.




Kino listened but he Heard only the sounds of the forest.




What is the matter ? Juana asked.




Quiet- Kino answered.




You are only dreaming, Juana said.




Perhaps, Kino replied.





Kino could not sleep again.




When Juana gave him a cornake , Kino stopped eating to listen.





Kino was afraid.




He looked over his shoulder into the tres and hed his knife firmily in his hand.





Coyotito made a Little noise and Kino said...Keep him  quiet...




What´s the matter? Juana asked again.




I dont know, Kino answered.





Suddenly he saw something moving. Kino bent his head down and looked though the trees.




Far away, Kino could see three men.




Two of the men were walking and teh other man was riding a horse.




Kino knew that the men were doing.





Suddenly Kino felt very frightened.





The men who were walking were carefully looking at the ground.




One of the men stopped and pointed at something.




Kino knew that the men were trackers.




These trackers could not follow the traks of sheep in the rocky mountains.





They could see a piece of broken grass or Little marks in the sand.





Thay were as a claver as hunting dogs.




The man on the horse had a blanket covering his nose.





He was caring a rifle in his hand.





Kino stood as still as a tree.





He almost stopped breathing.





His eyes looked at the place where he had swept away the tracks.





The marks of the sweeping might tell the trackers something.





Kino Knew these men.





They were very clever hunters and now they were hunting KINO.





Suddenly the trackers saw something and they bent over to look more closely.





The man on the horse waited and slowly pulled out his knife and got ready.




He knew what he horseman.




He must kill the horseman quikly and take the rifle...
