We read in a part of this book:
Suddenly, the sound of a lot of barking dogs resonates in the dark plain. Four wolves stood right in front of us. It seemed like the barking dogs had transfixed them. Mashhadi Ghasem shouted, “Guys! Come on behind the fire!” I and Borujali came to the fire and stood beside Mashhadi Ghasem. He was sweating from fear. The knees of all three of us obviously shuddered. We thought everything was over. At the last moments, various thoughts spilled into my brain. How painful it was as if the wolves tore us off and the dad died. Then my mother and my sister and brother would die of grief. Suddenly a hand threw me to the ground, and then I heard Borujali’s voice saying: “Lie down on the ground!”
