He found all of them 3 except one . There was a young man 4 beside it , and Robinson was 5 that he had not taken the one by the window . Anyhow, he went 6 it .

　　When he reached it, however, he saw that there was a notice on it, written in large letters, 7 “This seat is kept for proper balance. Thank you.” Mr Robinson had never seen such a notice before, 8 he thought the plane 9 be carrying something particularly heavy in its room which made it 10 to have the passengers properly balanced. So he walked 11 and found 12 empty seat, not beside the window to sit on.

　　Two or three other people 13 to sit in the window seat 14 the young man, but they 15 read the notice and walked on . Then when the plane was nearly 16 a very beautiful girl 17 into the plane. The young man who was watching the passengers coming in, 18 took the notice 19 the seat beside him-and by this means succeeded in 20 a pretty companion (伴) during the whole trip .
