A few months ago, I went down a road to post a letter. Then I thought to take advantage of the nice weather and go for a walk. I used to take a stroll(散步)when I was in primary school,so I thought it would be nice to go down the familiar lane. However, when I was one quarter of the way around I picked up a sense that there was someone following me .I looked around and saw people in their gardens,but none of them were close enough to me for it to feel like they were the ones who were following me.

I tried to rub off the feeling,counting it as my own imagination. The next moment though I heard footsteps following behind me. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. It was such a horrible sensation; it started up so abruptly that I wasn’t prepared for it. I really didn’t want to panic in public, so I went for the rational explanation and thought it was just a random（随意的）person from his or her garden, and I simply missed the movement since my concentration was elsewhere.I carried on at a slow pace,expecting that person to walk past me. However,no one did, so out of curiosity and wanting to find out who it was, I turned again to look,and the footsteps faded..My heart beat strongly,and I decided this leisurely walk wasn’t going to be so relaxed after all.After several seconds I turned and quickened the pace the rest of the way home all the while though those extra footsteps started up again. It went from a walk to a run,and I didn’t stop hearing them until I got in my car.

It did frighten me since I’m really not used to hearing actual footsteps, and getting the feeling of being watched and followed. It probably was just an entity(实体) that wanted to play around. It caused me no harm.I’m sure if it wanted to it could have touched me a fair number of times.

Is there a strange something high up in the world’s tallest mountains?If so,is a big bear?Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man?

No one knows. This mystery has puzzled the world for years.

In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a very large man .But men don’t walk without shoes in the snow!

In 1906, another climber saw more than footprints. Far off, he saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it was running very quickly.

Fifteen years later, newspapers had new stories about the “something”.A mountain climber said he had seen a “snowman”walking slowly across the snow, far below him. He said it looked like a very large man.

From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints. The pictures showed clearly that the snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an ape (猿)man? The mystery grew!
