Mrs Hammond was old and blind(瞎的)，but she wanted to do everything for herself. She even used to go for walks by herself once a day for exercise, and found her way by touching things with her white stick. She learned 39 everything was, so she never lost her way.

One day, some men came and cut down some of the familiar(熟悉的) 40 at the side of one of the paths which she followed. When she reached that place that evening, she did not feel the trees with her stick, so she was in 41 .

She waited for a while and listened, but did not hear any other people, so she went for a kilometre or two, and then she heard 42 under her.

“Am I lost? I suppose so,” she said, “I must be on a 43 , and there must be a river under me. I”ve been told that there”s a river in this part of the country, but I don”t know its exact position(确切的位置). How am I going to get back to my house from here?”

All at once she heard a man”s 44 voice near her. “Excuse me, can I help you?”

“How kind of you!” Mrs. Hammond answered. “Yes, please. Some of the trees which I follow have been removed today, and if I hadn”t been lucky enough to meet you, I don”t know 45 I”d have done. Can you please 46 me to get home ?

“Certainly,” the man answered. “Where do you live?”

Mrs. Hammond told him, and the man took her to her house. She told the man how 47 she was that she had met him. But the man said, “I want to 48 you.”

Mrs. Hammond asked, “Whatever for?”

“Well,” the man said quietly, “I was balanced(权衡)on the edge(边缘)of that bridge for years in the dark , because I was trying to make up my mind to 49 myself into the river and drown(淹死)myself. 50 I”m not going to do it now.”
