passing through, although we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through
chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed:
where the jungle did not actually spread down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore.
In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous
creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one's way with
knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman
would pick us up and take us to civilization.
We lived on fish, any fruit and nuts we could pick up out of the water. As we had no fire, we had to eat
everything, including the fish, raw. I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy
the experience: perhaps sea-fish which don't live in the mud are less tasteless. After eating my fish, I lay back
and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice cream. In the never-ending heat of the jungle, ice
cream was a particularly frequent dream.
As for water, there was a choice. We could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the
water. Men who have just escaped what had appeared to certain death lose all worries about such small things
as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result. One day we passed
another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time:
we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.

We were standing on the bridge, trying to catch some fish for supper when a small red plane flew almost directly above our heads. We could even 1 the pilot's (飞行员的) face. “I think he's 2 ,”jack said. “His plane is making a strange 3 .” “Well, we can't do anything, can we?” I said, “We can't even 4 from here.” We were 5 a boating holiday and we were 6 away from the nearest town. Jack suggested we 7 the plane down the river in order to save 8 . I agreed. We dropped out fishing lines and ran towards our 9 .It lay under some bushes (矮树丛) about a hundred metres 10 the river. Luckily our engine (发动机) started almost at once and 11 we were boating down the river. Jack came to this 12 of the country for a holiday almost every year and he knew the area well. The 13 was already becoming wider. We went around a bend (弯曲处) and there was a lake in front of us. We looked across the 14 and found something in the water, near the island in the middle. We raced 15 the lake. By the time we reached the 16 , the pilot-a very young 17 
was sitting on top of the 18 .
“Thanks for coming to 19 me. I'm sorry I disturbed (搅扰) you while you were fishing. Anyway, would you like some fish for supper?” She reached into the plane and pulled out a large fish. “There's many more 20 !”she said happily.
