好的。很久以前，在五指山山沟里，住着一位青年，是远近闻名的好猎手。有一天，他黎明出发到山林里去猎鹿，翻山越岭，却一无所获。

John: Then what did they live on?

那么他们靠什么生活呢？

Nana: They lived on farming. They cleared and worked the land in the coconut palm forest on the coast of the South China Sea. Later this place got the name the Deer Looking Back.

他们靠种地生活，在南海之滨的椰林里开荒种地。这个地方后来就被称作“鹿回头”。
