Samoilin tällä retkelläni kauan metsässä, mutta minun ei
onnistunut kertaakaan päästä villisian jäljille. Vihdoin kuulin
ajokoirien yhtämittaista haukuntaa ja ulvontaa ja kiiruhdin sinne päin,
mistä tämä kuului. Olin jo melkein lähellä metsäsikaa ja kuulin jo
rapinaa pensaista. Karju ärhenteli koiria luotaan. Haukunnasta kuulin
kuitenkin, etteivät ne olleet hyökänneet sen kimppuun, vaan
kiertelivät sen ympärillä. Äkkiä kuulin jotakin kahisevan takanani ja
näin Buljkan. Se oli nähtävästi joutunut eroon ajokoirista ja eksynyt,
nyt se oli varmaan kuullut niiden haukunnan ja vihurina syöksynyt
tänne samoin kuin minäkin. Se juoksi metsäniityn korkeassa
ruohikossa, enkä nähnyt muuta kuin sen mustan pään ja kielen
valkeiden hampaiden välistä. Huusin sitä, mutta se ei katsonut
minuun, se pääsi minusta edelle ja katosi pensaikkoon. Juoksin sen
jäljestä, mutta kuta kauemmas tulin, sitä tiheämmäksi muuttui metsä.
Puitten oksat nykäisivät lakin päästäni ja pieksivät kasvojani,
oratuomien piikit repivät vaatteitani. Olin jo aivan lähellä sitä kohtaa,
mistä haukunta kuului, mutta en voinut nähdä mitään.
