　　A certain hunter had found a piece of forest where there were plenty of animals to hunt. The only trouble was that the place was very difficult to get to.

　　He returned from his first 1 to the place in late autumn, and could not get back until the snows melted(融化) in the following 2 . Then he went to the pilot of a small plane, who earned his living by 3 hunters over parts of the country 4 were no roads and no railways, and asked him to take him hack to his 5 piece of forest.

　　The pilot did not know the place, so the hunter 6 it to him on the map.“ 7 there is nowhere to land there, man!”said the pilot.“I have flown 8 that part of the country on my way to other places, and I know that we can't land anywhere between this river and these mountains.”

　　“I thought you were a 9 pilot,”said the hunter.“Some of my friends said you could land a plane on a stamp.”

　　“That's 10 ,”answered the pilot.“I can land a plane where nobody else can. But I 11 you there is nowhere to land in the place you are talking about.”

　　“And what if I tell you that another pilot 12 land me there last spring?”said the hunter.

　　“Is that 13 ?”asked the pilot.

　　“Yes, it is. I swear(起誓)it.”

　　Well, this pilot could not let himself be 14 by another, so he agreed to take the hunter.

　　When they reached the place; the hunter 15 out a small spot(地点) without trees in the middle of the forest, with a steep rise(陡峻的斜坡)at one end. The pilot thought that there was 16 room to land there。but the hunter said that the other pilot had done so the year before, so 17 went to the plane. When it came to the rise, it turned right over on to its 18 . As the hunter climbed out, he 19 and said,“Yes, that is exactly how the other pilot managed 20 last time.”
