It resides in the desert.

它居住在沙漠中。

But how did the jackal get his black back?

但是，豺狼是如何找回它的黑色的呢？

This was how it happened. One day, the jackal saw a girl.

事情是這樣發生的。 有一天，豺看見了一個女孩。

She was sitting upon a rock.

她坐在一塊岩石上。

She was not a normal child;

她不是一個正常的孩子；

she was a rare and beautiful sunchild.

她是一位罕見的美麗的少女。

She was bright and warm like the sun. The child saw the jackal and smiled.

她像太陽一樣明亮、溫暖。 孩子看到豺，笑了。

She said, “Jackal, I have been relaxing on this rock for too long.

她說："豺狼，我在這塊石頭上放鬆太久了。

I must get home soon.

我必須儘快回家。

But I am slow, and you are fast.

但我動作慢，你動作快。

You will likely get me home more quickly.” Then she requested, “Will you carry me home?

你可能會更快地把我送回家"。然後她請求道："你能揹我回家嗎？

If you do, I'll give you a gift.

如果你這麼做了，我就送你一份禮物。

This necklace belongs to me, but I will give it to you.” The wild jackal agreed.

這條項鍊屬於我，但我會把它送給你。" 野豺同意了。

So the sunchild sat on the dog's back.

於是，太陽公公坐在了狗背上。

They started to walk, but soon the jackal felt ill.

他們開始散步，但很快豺就覺得不舒服了。

The sunchild was very hot on his back.

太陽公公的背上非常燙。

The heat was hurting his back very badly. “I made a terrible error in judgment,” he thought.

熱浪讓他的背部疼痛難忍。他想，"我犯了一個嚴重的判斷錯誤"。

He shouldn't have agreed to carry her, so he asked her to get off.

他不應該同意揹她，所以他請她下車。

But she did not.

但她沒有。

The jackal's back continued to get hotter and harder.

豺狼的後背繼續變得更熱、更硬。

He had to get away from the sunchild, so he made a plan. First, he ran as fast as he could.

他必須逃離太陽公公，於是他制定了一個計劃。 首先，他拼命地跑。

He hoped the sunchild would fall off, but she did not.

他希望太陽之子會掉下來，但她沒有。

So when the sunchild was looking at the sky, not aware of the jackal's next plan, he jumped into a field of flowers.

於是，當太陽公公望著天空，不知道豺狼的下一步計劃時，他跳進了一片花叢中。

As a result, the child rolled off his back.

結果，孩子從他的背上滾了下來。

The jackal ran away. But the sunchild left a mark on the jackal's back—a visible black mark.

豺跑了。 但太陽公公在豺背上留下了一個印記--一個明顯的黑色印記。

Ever since his experience with the sunchild, the jackal has had a black back. Teacher Malo Official
