Question

You’re just in time , Joe . We’re going to play cowboys（牛仔）and Indians , and you can be the Indians . ” one of my cousins（堂兄弟）said .

“ How many Indians ? ” I asked .

“ Oh , about a thousand , ” he answered , and before I could say no , I was pushed out into the night and became a thousand Indians . Two minutes later I was running in the fields with a group of cowboys behind the shouts of “ After them . Let’s catch the killers ! ” and other such TV play language came into my ears as I ran round a corner and hurried into my Grandpa’s car .

“ We’ve got him , boys . Let’s go and catch him ! ”

But no one wanted to come to get me . All of my cousins except one were always very friendly with me . It was quiet outside and I went out of the car to have a look . Just then I heard a shout , “ Bring the rope（繩子）, and we can burn him . ”

“ Only Indians burn people , cowboys … ” I stopped just in time I had almost said , “ Cowboys hang （絞死）people ” .

I was tied to a tree , and the cowboys were looking for some wood when my dear mother called . “ We’re leaving now . ”

“ Untie , me ” , I shouted . “ We’re going to …”

“ Why did Bobby want matches（火柴）? ”

Mum asked when we were in the car “ He was asking Dad whether he had any . ” “ Oh , he was just going to —- matches ? MATCHES ? Are you sure he wanted matches ? ” Mother was quite sure , and I didn’t say any more ,sweating(流汗)
