One day while sitting in the boat fishing, I noticed a field mouse on the river bank. He ran out of his  21 , ran around a bit and then ran back. I thought of the  22 of this mouse.

He is trying to  25 his way to successful living, which is finding a little  26 , so that he can carry on for the rest of his life, frightened.
