Read the passage from the personal memory voice of section XVI - "Nearby a calf lay in the tall grass, it was red-orange in color, delicately beautiful with new life, but suddenly the cow was there in our way, her great dark head low and fearful-looking. Then she came at us, and we turned and ran as hard as we could. She gave up after a short run, and I think we had not been in any real danger. But the spring morning was deep and beautiful and our hearts were beating fast and we knew just then what it was to be alive." What is Momaday's tone in the passage?
