47.We have a Norwegian elkhound (柴犬) named Torgy. Elkhounds are beautiful. They are medium-sized, strong, square-looking dogs. Their thick, silver-gray fur (皮毛) has a pure white undercoat, making a kind of flag that moves up and down when they run. They run everywhere. In fact, they are good at roaming (闲逛), and Torgy is better than most of his breed.
In August, the heat wave started. For quite a few days, Torgy started disappearing in the afternoon, and he wouldn’t show up again until we were getting supper on the table. Every day, Torgy hung around during the cool of the morning, but as the sun rose to its full height, he got up from his favorite spot under the elm tree, stretched, shook himself all over, and ran out of the yard.
There was no water from the stream or mud from the fishing pond. No dust from the country roads or weeds from the woods. Why could Torgy come home remarkably clean as a dog on the move?
“Where have you been, Torgy?” I turned his head toward me and looked him in the eyes. He licked my nose.
A week later, Mom took us on a walk downtown. It is only four blocks from our house to the middle of the town, which is how small it is. We walked down Division Street, which brought us right by the Webb Fur Salon, the newest store in town and the only one with air conditioning.
In the middle of summer, it wasn’t easy to sell furs. It was said Mr. Webb, the store owner, was offering some discounts in order to attract customers. The air conditioning also provided a comfortable environment for this purpose.
“Let’s see which fur I’m going to pick out today,” Mom said as she approached the display window where the expensive, fur-hanging mannequins (人体模特) was on show. She looked in the window and stopped dead in shock.
Paragraph 1: Her mouth kept opening and closing but no sound came out.
