In woods, two short tree trunks not far from where he rested suddenly moved and two others followed and a camel came all at once into view.  A young girl riding it jumped acrobatically to her feet atop the camel’s hump and greeted him with such child-like glee that he got up and ran to catch her in case she fell.  He saw her then see that she didn’t know him, and she let out a shriek.  It stopped his next step by a tree.  He waved hurried assurances, and watched the camel carry her away, but he couldn’t shake off being haunted by her shriek.  Had she let it out because there had once been a man who had not stopped?
