I shall always recall (回忆）the autumn and the girl with the . I know she will always be my best friend.
It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves on the cool wind. In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, to the sound of them.

Another secret of animals’ survival is telepathy（心灵感应）. This sense becomes atrophied（衰退） in man, but a(n) 1 thought-communication functions in animals. Elsa, the lioness, frequently 2 when George and I intended to visit her camp, even though it 3 180 miles from our home in Isiolo. On most 4 when we made our irregular visit she was waiting for us. By following the spoor（野兽的足迹），we 5 that she had sometimes walked 50 or 60 miles to meet us.

I have known this kind of thought-communication with the animal with whom I’ve lived. When Elsa died, I woke in the night, knowing what had happened, even though I was several miles away. The same thing 10 later with one of Pippa’s cubs.
I don’t 11 this sensitivity with my own kind. Feel far more in tune with what is going on when I am in the bush than when I am in London on Nairobi. We don’t know much yet about this telepathy from which gland（腺体） it comes, or how it 12 .
