49 Little Nike

一、请根据两个提示句进行故事续写，150词左右。

Nike was a wheel dog. Whether little Nike had been named after the athletic shoe or the Greek goddess of

victory, I would never know. He came into my life due to his shortcomings in a team of dogs that I had trained to

run in Alaska’s Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

My wife Cheryl and I headed into the mountains with supplies to live for five months. In January, we had

begun pushing east toward an untraveled area of the Yukon River. The trapping prospects there looked promising.

We returned to our main cabin and made plans for me to use Cheryl’s dogs, hooking(钩住) them together to form

a large team. The idea was to bring supplies several miles down the river and establish a permanent camp.

That meant I’d be traveling alone and driving a sled loaded with around 300 pounds of goods, which meant

extra hard work for my wheelers, Nike and Doc. The first serious challenge in our trip came where the path

descended(下降) a steep valley that led to the river. As we started down, I stood on the brake with all of my

weight in an attempt to keep balance. But the heavy sled began overtaking the dogs, and they picked up their pace

to stay ahead of it. Soon, we had gone from trotting(小步疾走) to loping(大步跑), leaving Nike to run for his life.

His forelegs shot out ahead of him, and he flew through the air like Superman. We came to a hairpin turn at the

bottom of the hill. With eyes wide, I leaned to the left in hopes of counterbalancing the sled.

So much for that effort. We wound up in a massive heap（一堆）. With my heart beating violently, I emerged

from a large snowdrift (雪堆)and assessed the damage. I expected to find my dogs and a broken sled. But the sled

was fine, and the dogs had jumped over each other and broke away from the ropes. Nike emerged from the snow,

shook himself off, looked at me with those encouraging eyes and made me smile.

Now I was saving myself from an icy death in a river.

Little Nike

Nike was a wheel dog. Whether little Nike had been named after the athletic shoe or the Greek goddess of

victory, I would never know. He came into my life due to his shortcomings in a team of dogs that I had trained to

run in Alaska’s Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

That next autumn, Nike fell into the rhythm of pulling the sled over ninety miles of trap line. My wife Cheryl

and I had acquired other dogs and headed into the mountains with provisions to live for five months. In January,

we had begun pushing east toward an untraveled tributary of the Yukon River. The trapping prospects there

looked promising. We returned to our main cabin and made plans for me to use Cheryl’s dogs, hooking them

together to form a large team. The idea was to haul supplies several miles down the river and establish a

permanent camp.

That meant I’d be traveling alone and driving a sled loaded with around 300 pounds of freight, which meant

extra hard work for my wheelers, Nike and Doc. The first serious challenge in our trip came where the trail

descended a steep gorge that led to the river. As we started down, I stood on the brake with all of my weight in an

attempt to jab its sharp cutters into the icy trail. But the heavy sled began overtaking the dogs, and they picked up

their pace to stay ahead of it. Soon, we had gone from trotting to loping, leaving Nike to run for his life. His

forelegs shot out ahead of him, and he flew through the air between strides like Superman. We came to a hairpin

turn at the bottom of the hill. With eyes wide, I leaned to the left in hopes of counterbalancing the sled.

So much for that effort. We wound up in a massive heap. With my adrenaline pumping, I emerged from a

large snowdrift and assessed the damage. I expected to find crippled dogs and a broken sled. But the sled was fine,

and the dogs had jumped over each other and untangled themselves. Nike emerged from the snow, shook himself

off, looked at me with those encouraging eyes and made me smile.

Now I was bracing myself for an icy death in a river. As the sled wallowed beneath me, I jumped toward the

edge of the ice, but fell short and prepared myself for a swim. To my astonishment, the water was only up to my

thighs, and there was very little current. The dogs bobbed frantically. I worked my way to the front of the team,

grabbed my lead dogs, and threw them onto solid ice. They began pulling toward shore while I threw pairs of

team dogs out until they were all out of the water. With my dogs back on solid ice, they pulled enough to extract

the sled from the open water.

I fought back my fear that we would fall through again. When we finally came to the safety of the riverbank,

I fell into a deep apathy. The cold was rapidly creeping deep into my muscles, and I realized that my chances of

survival were no better than back when we were in the water.

I had begun to accept that this was how I was going to die, but Nike wouldn’t have it. He charged into his

harness and wagged his tail, and it clattered with frozen shards of ice. I looked into his eyes and could swear he

was smiling. I gathered my wits and dry firewood — and started a huge blaze. As I recounted my experience in

the warmth of my sleeping bag, I wondered if I’d have survived if not for Nike and his attitude. Cheryl and I put

in several more winters of wilderness adventure before moving to town and starting a small family. And always,

Nike was there, a model of strength and happiness.
