Our boat floated on, between walls of forest too thick to allow us to see the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through hills. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed. Banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore (靠岸). In any case, what would we have done 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, caught with a homemade net, and fruits 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.

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 to get away in a stolen boat again.

Booker T. Washington was born in a black slave family in Virginia of the USA in 1856, seven years before slavery was abolished (废除) by Abraham Lincoln in January, 1863.

He wrote a book about his life called Up From Slavery, which was published in 1901. In the book, he said that he had no choice but to work in a coal mine when he was 16 years old. He had no chance to go to school. He heard two coal miners talking about a school for black children which was called the Hampton Institute.

He determined that he would go there. He gave up his job and told other members of his race that he was going to school across the state. The older people had spent their best years as slaves and were poor. However, some gave Booker some pocket money or a handkerchief. Hardly had anyone expected any of their race to leave home to attend a boarding school. He took a train to Richmond, Virginia, where he ran out of money. It was 82 miles from the Hampton Institute. He slept under a wooden sidewalk(人行道). He helped unload pigs and iron from a ship for some money and when he had enough, he continued his journey, arriving at school with 50 cents.

This diligence(勤奋) pushed him to graduate and become a teacher at the Hampton Institute. When he was 25 years old, he was asked to start a new school for black children in Alabama. called the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Thirty-four years later, this school had 1,500 students and 200 teachers and Booker T. Washington became the most influential black leader of his generation.

The train shakes back and forth, its wheels making a loud noise against the tracks.Outside the window the freezing cold of winter rules.The carriage is filled with cold, tired passengers.

Suddenly a little boy  31  his way through the grown―up legs and sits down by the window.He is all alone among the unfriendly grown-ups.What a brave child, I think.His father  32  to stay by the door behind us. The train begins to crawl into a tunnel. Then something very strange happens suddenly. The  33 little boy slides down from his seat and leans his hand on my knee. For a moment, I think that he wants to  34  me and return to his father, so I help him to stand up. But instead he leans forward and holds his head up towards me. He wants to say something to me, I think.I lower my head to receive the message. Wrong again! What I do receive is a  35  kiss on the cheek.

The boy calmly returns to his seat, leans back and continues looking out of the window.I am 36 . What just happened? A child kissing unknown grown―ups on the train. How can anybody want to kiss such a man that has so much beard? Soon enough, all of my neighbors are certainly  37  . Nervous and a little surprised, we cast a look in the direction of the father. When he sees our questioning 38 as he gets ready for his stop, he offers a clue.

 “He’s so happy to be alive,” the father says. “He has been very sick..”

Father and son disappear into the crowd moving toward the exit. The doors close and the train goes on. On my cheek I can still  39  the child’s kiss―a kiss that has triggered(触发)some soul―search inside me. How many go around kissing each other from the joy of being alive? How many even give much thought to the privilege of living?

The little kisser taught us a sweet but serious lesson: Be careful you don’t let yourself  40  before your heart stops!
