Question

Sure enough, at that very moment as they looked back, they saw the man bend down to examine something on the pavement．Then he looked all around for some moments．They held their breath．The man bent down again, and prodded(以尖物推或刺)the pavement with his shoe． 　　Toad, who at the best of times would not have been fast enough escape pursuit, was so tired that he could hardly move at all．As he felt the toe of the man’s shoe touch him, he shuffled(慢吞吞地走)a mere couple of inches towards the road．His friends were all on the safe side of the road and he felt completely abandoned．The man’s shoe started to move towards him again．The next thing he knew, there was a flurry(阵风)of wings above him, followed by a sharp cry of pain． 　　Then Fox was by his side,“Fast as you can, up my tail,”he whispered．Toad grasped Fox’s thick brush and grasped tightly with his front feet, pulled himself slowly up．Fox did not stop more than a moment．Once he was sure Toad was off the ground, he raced back across the road again, with Toad hanging grimly on behind． 　　Tawny Owl(]猫头鹰)had stretched out his claws and skimmed(掠过)the man’s head, raking through his hair．The man’s arms flailed(用力挥动)wildly upwards and caught the bird a glancing blow on the back, but Tawny Owl, seeing that Fox and Toad were out of danger, flew steadily upwards in a wide arc(弧)until the man could no longer see him．Then he flew back over the road, and over the railings, landing by the gorse([植] 金雀花)patch．The moment of danger had passed． 　　Tawny Owl looking through, most of the animals seemed to be silent, and in the dimness(朦胧)he could make out various shapes crowded together around the gorse． 　　“Thanks, Owl”, he heard Fox whisper．“All safe now．Everyone’s exhausted——no wish to talk at the moment…”he broke off to yawn．“We’re well hidden here…oh, I’m so tired…I think I’m the only one still awake．Toad’s asleep already．” 　　“Good night, Fox．” 　　“Good night, Owl．”He whispered．“See you in the evening．” 　　Tawny Owl flew slowly away to join the other birds before it grew light．The first stage of the journey was complete． (1) According to the first paragraph, what attracted the man attention on the pavement?
