'Now, come here, 'red eyes,' said the fat man, dropping his axe and taking the club in his right hand.
Buck jumped at the man, sixty kilos of anger, his mouth wide open ready to bite the man's neck. Just before his teeth touched the skin, the man hit him with the club. Buck fell to the ground, It was the first time anyone had hit him with a club and he did not understand. He stood up, and jumped again. Again the club hit him and he crashed to the ground. Ten time he jumped at the man, and ten times the club hit him. Slowly he got to his feet, now only just able to stand. There was blood on hid=s node and mouth and ears, Then the fat man walked up and hit him again, very hard,on the nose. The pain was terrible. Again, Buck jumped at the and again he was hit to the ground, A last time he jumped, and this time, when the man knocked him down, Buck did not move.
