三十六计走为上计？也许不对……你可听说跑得了初一跑不了十五？对，逃跑不是办法，要静下心来想办法才行。在生活中，你或多或少都会遇到一些可怕的人或事，要学会面对才是上上策啊。让我们来看看本文主人公是如何处理跟踪他的“怪物”的吧。
Every time I visited my grandfather’s house I learned something new. It wasn’t intended that way， but that’s just how things always worked out.
One day as I was heading down towards grandpa’s farm， I had the distinct sensation that I was being followed. I turned around and saw this monstrous dog 1）loping up behind me. I was terrified， and I ran straight for the back door of grandpa’s house as fast as my legs could carry me. I ran up across the porch and yanked at the screen door and pushed the big door open and shut with a bang that brought grandpa running to the kitchen to see what was the matter. He found me in a crying heap against the door， and he looked out the window， and then he said， “Big dog.” I nodded and shivered at the thought of that monster chasing me down the road， and then grandpa said， “Come on， I wanna show ya somethin’ about dogs.” I wasn’t sure what grandpa had in mind， but I trusted him， and with my hand in his I felt completely safe.
Grandpa whispered in my ear， “Now just let that dog sniff at ya. That’s how he’s gonna get to know ya. And you watch his tail. When he decides that you’re friendly， he’ll wave his tail high up in the air.”
I did what grandpa said. I didn’t take my eyes off that dog’s tail， and I didn’t breathe for a lo-ong time. The dog sniffed me up and down， and then as if by magic， the tail lifted， just like grandpa said， and it waved in the air like a flag on a windy day， and then grandpa had me stick out my hand for the dog to sniff. So I did. And the dog licked it， like the cows do to the 2）saltlicks. Then he said， “Now he’s your friend forever.”
I was never afraid of dogs after that， but I’ve had lots of encounters with monsters in my life since then， many of them as an adult. Now when I find a monster chasing me， I try to remember what my grandfather taught me that summer day. I sit myself down and let it sniff me. I watch and I wait， and the monster becomes my friend for life.
每次拜访爷爷我都会有新的收获。并不是有意这样，但事情往往就这样发生了。
一天，正当我朝着爷爷的农场走去的时候，我明显感觉到我被“跟踪”了。我转过身，看到一只大狗正大步向我跑来。我被吓坏了，我用尽全身力气直奔爷爷家的后门。我跑过门廊，猛拉纱门，推开大门，又砰的一声关上，爷爷被这声巨响吸引到了厨房，想看看究竟发生了什么事。爷爷发现我靠着门哭得稀里哗啦的，他望向窗外，说，“一只大狗”。我点点头，一想到那怪物在路上追赶我的情形就禁不住颤栗着。接着爷爷说：“来吧，我要告诉你一些关于狗的事情。”我不知道爷爷心里是怎么想的，但我相信他，握着他的手我感到非常安全。
爷爷在我耳边小声说：“现在让那只狗嗅嗅你，因为那是它认识并了解你的方式。看着它的尾巴，等它确定你是友好的，它会把尾巴翘得高高地摇起来。”
我按爷爷说的做了。我屏住呼吸，目不转睛地盯着它的尾巴。它从上到下地嗅着我，然后奇迹般地，它的尾巴立了起来，正如爷爷所说的那样，它的尾巴像一根旗子在风中摇曳。然后爷爷又让我伸出手让狗去嗅，我照做了。它舔了舔，就像奶牛舔盐块那样。然后爷爷说：“现在它是你永远的朋友了。”
从那以后，我再也不怕狗了，也是从那以后，我总会在生活中遇见一些“怪物”，他们中的一部分还是大人。现在，每当我发现有怪物跟着我的时候，我就会想起那个夏日爷爷教我的东西。我会让自己坐下来并让它嗅我。我会看着它，静静等候，然后那个怪物便成了我永远的朋友。翻译：Christy
