white fang burnt his tongue and nose in the fire because it was his first time near flame. it was very painful and he cried very
loudly.
"and then shame came to him. he knew laughter and the meaning of it. it is not given us to know how some animals know
laughter, and know when they are being laughed at; but it was this same way that white fang knew it."
after being hurt by the fire, white fang heard the american indians laugh at his cries. he felt embarrassed because he was
the target of their laughter. the humiliation was strong and painful. he ran to his mother because he knew she was safe.
"and he felt shame that the man-animals should be laughing at him. he turned and fled away, not from the hurt of the fire, but
from the laughter that sank even deeper, and hurt in the spirit of him."
