Behind them an old sheep-dog, his soaking paws covered with sand, ran along with his nose to the ground, but carelessly, as if thinking of something else.

湿漉漉的爪子上沾满了沙子， 用鼻子贴着地面跑着， 但漫不经心， 好像在想别的事情。

Then they passed into a cave so wide and dark that they could see nothing of it except that right in front of them a strip of pale sand ran down into still water.

最后他们来到一个地方，看守命令再点上那只惨淡的灯笼。
