Anna poured coffee from the tin pot as the evening sunlight flickered on the prairie (大草原).She hated being stuck helping Rufus, the cook. What Anna loved best was riding. At twelve years old, she was an able cowhand—Papa just never gave her the chance to prove it.
After Anna washed the tin cups and unrolled her bed, she listened to the cowboys talk about the next day's challenges. "And a storm's coming, too," Luk e added. "The horses will be nervous before we even start."
Anna closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but couldn't. "The men will need my help!" she thought. But when Papa slipped into his bedroll, he whispered, "Anna, you stay near Rufus tomorrow. It'll be dangerous." "But, Papa, I'm a good hand!" "No, Anna. I'd be watching you instead of the herd. It's settled. Now, off to sleep, darling."
Anna crossed her arms and stared at the sky. The stars disappeared under a blanket of clouds. The wind whistled and bent the prairie grass. Restless, the cattle wailed and stamped the ground. The camp slept—everyone but Anna. Tears rolled down her face. Why couldn't Papa understand? Ever since Mama's death, he'd tried to protect Anna from everything. He was killing the fun right out of her life.
Anna felt a few drops of rain. She got up, grabbed her hat, and tiptoed toward her horse, Copper. She wanted to be alone. A loud crack of thunder shook Anna from her thoughts. Copper moved forward nervously. As lightning lit the landscape, Anna saw the herd (兽群) and sensed the same fear. "Whoa!" Anna gasped, trying to keep Copper from dancing. "If this noise keeps up, those cattle will panic!" As she spoke, a bigger blaze of lightning crashed. From the direction of the herd, there came a sudden low rumbling (隆隆声).
"Stampede (畜群逃窜)!" Anna cried. "And it's coming this way!"
