they had been traveling for hours, and simon was ready to make camp for the night. he could tell by the slowed pace of his loyal dog, bruce, that he was ready for a break also. the cold winds had picked up speed, and both travelers had endured the sharp sting as they’d climbed the steep trail of the mountain. simon nodded toward bruce and told him it was time to call it quits for the day. he found an open spot that was sheltered by trees and began unloading his backpack. bruce found a mossy spot beneath a tree and curled up, but he never took his eyes off simon. simon’s stomach grumbled, and he wished that he hadn’t consumed all of his provisions earlier in the day.

Explanation:

This sentence tells Simon's instruction to his dog directly through narration. Replacing it with dialogue (e.g., "Alright, Bruce, let's call it quits for the day!") would make the scene more engaging, show Simon's voice, and create a more vivid, interactive moment between the boy and his dog, which fits the fictional adventure story context.

Answer:

Simon nodded toward Bruce and told him it was time to call it quits for the day.
