I taught him to catch lizards and bark and bite at serpents. But we never ate any, as jackals and cats do. We dogs preferred to eat dry bread, the lentils or pastry which our masters wasted, and, once in a while, to gnaw a bone. We knew, moreover, how to find the carcasses of animals lying at a distance, long before the smell 160 THE IMMOVABLE EAST reached us, by the sight of the vultures and ravens soaring above them. That first winter of my life, — how well I remem- ber it ! Continual rains b...rought much trouble to our camp. We could never find a dry place. As we had not yet left the mountains, the flocks suffered terribly from scarcity of food. One afternoon, during a thunderstorm, several weak goats were lost. We hunted for them the next morning and at last found their dead bodies near some rocks, under the lee of which they had sought shelter. Again there was a big feast, in company with the birds of the air and the beasts of the field. ^ We barked all night to drive away the jackals and the hyaenas, but at last we could eat no more, so we returned to the camp and slept until dawn.
