During my first three years on the island, I considered often how I might cross to this mainland．
My first two attempts 1 , for in each case, 2 I had painstakingly built a boat to carry me, I found it too 3 and heavy to move to the water’s edge． 4 I built a small canoe out of a tree trunk． 5 too small for crossing the ocean, the canoe would at least enable me to sail around the 6 ．I loaded it with provisions(准备), 7 my little sail, and set out, staying close to the 8 ．At length, however, I 9 a rocky point around which the waves 10 in such a way as to send my small boat out to sea．It was only by great 11 and provide I was able to sail back to land．When at last I fell exhausted upon the floor of my country bower(凉亭)，I was 12 to hear a voice echoing(回响)my 13 ，saying，“Poor Robinson Crusoe, where are you? Where have you been?”I started up 14 fear．After while I 15 that it was my parrot ，Poll， 16 the phrases I had taught him．
For fifteen years，I busied myself with caring 17 my crops and animals，maintaining my houses，and 18 my island．Then one day as I went to my canoe，I was surprised to see the print or a man’s naked 19 ,very plain in the sand．Thunderstruck，I looked and 20 , but neither saw nor heard angry one．Nor were there any other footprints．
As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door,“Guess what?”
I always take a deep 1 on this very leading question．“What?”I asked．
“I just won a sales contest at work and the 2 is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!”
She was so 3 ．We knew the restaurant was extremely good．“See?I told you there would be a 4 for me to wear my new spring outfit,”she shyly reminded me．
“ 5 can play at that game,”I responded．“I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino imported straw hat and a new silk tie．We will be well 6 ．”
It was early 7 and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n) 8 of the river．And the table was 9 set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins．
A delicious meal 10 in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time．As it 11 , this will probably never be forgotten．
As the shadows lengthened, the 12 rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,“Why not take a walk?”
Hand in hand, we walked by the stores．People smiled and nodded．“I 13 realized there were so many 14 people as we have seen this evening, dear,”I observed．
“Probably your new straw hat or your 15 ,”she said．
After receiving many smiles, we 16 ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the 17 ．It was then that I saw the 18 for all the smiles．
Caught in the fly of my trousers and 19 down for all to see was a bright red 20 from the restaurant!

This sounded like a 11 idea to all of us kids, so we kept on going with the stories．My mom knew the true story, 12 ．Bobby's mom was a single parent , and she suspected(怀疑)that they just couldn't 13 the Easter Bunny．
After Sunday School was over, everyone went off to 14 ．But my mom announced that we were going home 15 ．At home, she explained that to make Bobby feel 16 , we were going to pretend(假装)to be the Easter Bunny , make a basket of our candies for him and 17 it at church．We all donated(捐赠)some to the basket, and 18 back to church．There, mom hung the basket over the hanger(挂钩)and attached(附上)a(n) 19 ：
