山畔庆生起波澜，勇护孩童破谜团

Neil’s son was going to be 2 years old. For his birthday, Neil picked a wooden cottage (小屋) near a mountain forest. They stayed there for 2 days.
On the first day, Neil’s son made friends with a dog. He gave the dog some cookies. The dog stayed close during the birthday party in the woods.
The next morning, the adults went hiking (徒步旅行). The boy stayed indoors with a babysitter (临时保姆). When the adults returned, they saw blood on the dog’s mouth. They thought it hurt the child. So they were angry. They wanted to hit the dog.
