Final answer:
Kino plans to avoid trackers by taking advantage of the rustlers' potential laziness and then changing his hiding place to prevent being cornered.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question pertains to an event in a narrative where the character named Kino is trying to devise a strategy to rid himself of trackers. The passage suggests that Kino is aware of the potential for being followed and acknowledges that trackers are adept at their job. However, he also considers that rustlers, or cattle thieves, might be complacent when not actively pursuing their goals. His plan involves taking a gamble on their laziness to make a move and then he plans to alter his location to stay ahead of any pursuers. The key element of Kino's strategy is his proactive approach to avoid being cornered and his willingness to adapt by changing his hiding place.
