Buck was becoming a strong sled dog but his wild side was growing. He tried to avoid fights with Spitz, the pack leader, but tensions rose between them. One night at camp, Buck found Spitz had taken his spot in the shelter. His wild side erupted and the two dogs fought. As they circled each other, the camp was invaded by wild husky dogs from a nearby village who were hungry and seeking food.

THE WILD ANIMAL GROWS
Life on the trail, pulling the sled, was hard. Buck was becoming a good sled-dog, but he was also
changing, and the wild animal inside him was growing and growing. Because he was still busy
learning, he tried to stay away from fights. He was careful not to show his anger toward Spitz, but
Spitz was always trying to start a fight with him. He was worried that Buck would take his place as
leader of the team. The fight would come one day, and because both dogs were so strong and, it
could only end with the death of one of them.
One evening, not far into their journey, the team camped at Lake Laberge, under a cliff. It
was dark, the snow was coming down, and the wind cut into them like a white-hot knife. Perrault and
François made a fire on the ice of the lake, and Buck dog a warm hole for himself under the cliff.

Dinnertime came, and François brought out fish for the dogs. Buck was so warm in his hole
that he did not want to leave it. But he was hungry, so he ate his food. When he went back to his
hole he found that there was another dog in it. A growl told him that the dog was Spitz. Buck had
always tried not fight with Spitz, but this was too much. The wild animal inside him roared, and he
jumped angrily on Spitz. Then the two dogs ran out of the hole, ready to fight. It seemed that the
terrible day had come.
While Spitz and Buck were running in circles around each other, Perrault suddenly shouted.
A big group of <huskies had arrived in the camp from one of the Native American villages. They could
smell food, and they were wild with hunger. Perrault and François hit the huskies with their clubs, but
one of them already had its in a food box. The food box fell onto the ice, and in a moment, several
village huskies were eating everything up. They howled when the men hit them with their clubs, but
they were too hungry to run away.

LOS ANIMALES SALVAJES CRECEN
El camino de la vida, empujando el trineo, era duro. Buck empezaba a ser un buen perro-guía, pero
él también estaba cambiando y su lado salvaje estaba creciendo y creciendo. Todavía estaba
aprendiendo, él intentaba alejarse de las luchas. Era cuidadoso para no mostrar su enfado hacia
Spitz, pero Spitz siempre intentaba empezar una pelea con él. A Spitz le preocupaba que Buck
ocupara su puesto como líder del equipo. La lucha llegaría un día, porque ambos perros eran muy
fuertes y orgullosos, solo podría acabar con la muerte de uno de ellos
Una noche, no lejana a su jornada, el equipo acampo en el lago Laberge, debajo de un
precipicio. Era oscuro, la nieve caia y el viento les cortaba como un cuchillo. Perrault and François
hicieron un fuego en el hielo del lago, y Buck hizo un agujero caliente para él debajo del precipicio.
Llego la cena, y Francois saco pescado para los perros. Buck estaba muy a gusto en su
agüjero, que no quería salir. Pero estaba hambriento, entonces comió su comida. Cuando volvió a su
agujero encontró que estaba ocupado por otro perro. Le gruño, el perro era Spitz. Buck siempre
había intentado no luchar con Spitz, pero esto era demasiado. Su lado salvaje rugió, y salto furioso

sobre Spitz. Entonces los dos perros salieron del agujero. Preparados para luchar. Parecía que el
terrible día había llegado.
Mientras Spitz y Buck estaban corriendo en círculos uno alrededor del otro, Perrault de
repente grito. Un grupo de huskys ha llegado al campamento de un de los pueblos indígenas de
America. Ellos podían oler comida, y eran muy salvajes con hambre. Perrault y François golpean a los
huskys con sus palos, pero uno de ellos ya tenía su caja de comida. La caja de comida cayo en el
hielo, y en un momento varios grupos de huskies se lo estaban comiendo. Aullaron cuando los
hombre les golpearon con sus palos, pero estaban demasiado hambrientos para alejarse.
