阅读理解 We walked all afternoon with Infadoos and Scragga. Their men walked about a hundred metres ahead of us.
“When did your people, the Kukuana, come to this place?”
“They came from the north many thousands of moons ago,” Infadoos explained. “When they reached the mountains, they could go no farther. They stayed here where the land is good and there is water.”
“Do you live here in peace?” I asked.
“There have been two wars. Once an army came down from the north, but we killed most of them. Soon after that, we fought among ourselves.” He said, “The king at that time had two sons—twins. When he died, both young men wanted to be king. One of the twins, Twala, killed the other and became king.”
“Did the dead man have a wife and children?” I asked. I knew that if he did, the fighting could start again one day.
“Yes. He had a wife, Imotu, and a son, Ignosi. They ran away.” He pointed to a village a short way ahead. “That is the village where Imotu and Ignosi first hid,” he said. “We shall stay there tonight.”
As soon as we were within a mile or so of the village, an army of men came out. As we passed them, they shouted a welcome.
Their women were in the village. They stopped whatever they were doing to watch us pass by, but they were not rude. As soon as we were comfortable in a hut, they came with milk, honey, and cooked food.
A young man brought a fat young ox which he killed and cut into pieces. We took a few pieces for ourselves and gave him the rest. We don't want them to think we were selfish.（选自《所罗门王的宝藏》，有删节）
