His sisters cried loudly.

Aaron took a1ong two slices of bread to eat on the road. He needed to deliver the goat by evening and return the next day with the money. While the family said goodbye, Zlateh stood as patiently as ever. Zlateh trusted human beings.

The sun was shining when Aaron 1eft. Suddenly the weather changed, and after a while it began to snow. Soon their path was completely covered and Aaron got lost. Beneath the snow Aaron’s boots touched the softness of a plowed field. He realized that he was no longer on the road. Z1ateh bleated as if asking to be taken home. Aaron looked around hoping to find a farmer driving a sleigh along the way. But he could see nothing.

Aaron knew that if they did not find shelter, they would freeze to death. Suddenly he made out the shape of a hill. When he came near it, he realized that it was a large haystack covered by snow. Aaron knew that they were saved. When he reached the hay, he dug a nest for himself and the goat. It was always warm in the hay. And hay was food for Zlateh.

Zlateh, sat down and seemed to have regained her confidence in man. Aaron ate his bread，but after the difficult journey he was still hungry. He looked at Z1ateh and realized that he would not be starved to death. Goat’s milk was sweet. Zlateh ate frequently and her body gave forth an animal warmth, and Aaron hugged her tightly. The snow fell for 3 days and the wind quieted down.

Aaron’s sisters kissed and hugged Zlateh and Aaron’s father gave the goat a special treat of chopped carrots. Nobody ever again thought of selling Zlateh, who had been an important family member to them.

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写作文。

通过阅读所给文章可知，父亲让Aaron去镇上把老山羊Zlateh卖掉，Aaron需要在晚上之前把山羊送出去，第二天带着钱回来。结果半路开始下雪，Aaron迷了路，他知道如果他们找不到避难所，就会冻死。他找到了一个被雪覆盖的大草堆，为自己和山羊挖了一个窝。干草里总是暖和的而且干草是Zlateh的食物，Aaron靠着Zlateh的羊奶活着。雪下了三天，风平息了。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：到了第四天早晨，Aaron听见雪橇的铃声。所以后文应该是讲述Aaron他们得救的经过，开雪橇农夫给他指了路，Aaron决定和他忠实的朋友Zlateh一起回家。第二段开头是：Aaron和Zlateh要来的消息，使全家人都非常高兴。本段应该写家人见到Aaron的Zlateh的情况，全家人都非常高兴。Aaron的姐妹们亲吻并拥抱了Zlateh，Aaron的父亲给了Zlateh一顿特别的美味——切碎的胡萝卜。再也没有人想到卖掉Zlateh了，因为对他们来说，他是一个重要的家庭成员。

最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
