and the wind blew loud and shrill.
大风呼啸而过。
It was quite dark.
外面一片漆黑，
Not a star was to be seen in the sky.

"These good men sent out a dog,

In an hour or two, the dog was heard coming back.

"On looking out, they saw him with a boy on his back.
“向外望的时候，他们看到它的背上有一个男孩。
The poor child was stiff with cold.

He could but just hold on to the dog's back.

"He had lain for a long time in the snow,

and was too weak to walk.

and he took hold of the dog.

He drew himself out of the snow,
