16, day before yesterday.

Every of our family members are

greatly delighted to learn how you are getting along very

well with your lessons. Time passed quickly. In scores of days,

I was heard about the job through a friend who worked in

same company. But the hardest part was the interview.

It happened like this. I was cycling along a street for the 　

rush hour on my way to the interview.

A yellow car passes me and suddenly stopped. As there

was another car coming in the other direction, so I

had to brake hardly and I hit another cyclist.

We both fell off, but fortunately neither of them was hurt.

I was extremely anger! I saw that a little further up the road

the traffic lights had been turned red.

Now I had not thought that I would have to go down into the pit with the snakes in order to 　31　 　them, and so I was wearing the strong sort of clothes. I 　　32　 　this to my friends, and they very 　　33　 　lent me their trousers and shoes, which were quite thick and strong. So, as I could think of no more excuses, they tied the 　　34　　 round my waist and started to 　　35　 　me into the pit.

Just before I landed at the bottom I 　　36　 　up and told my friends to stop lowering me. I wanted to 　　37　 　the ground that I was going to land on, to make sure there were no snakes on the 　　38　　 . The area being clear, I shouted to them to lower away, 　　39　 　at that moment two things happened.

First, the light went out; second, one of the shoes which I had 　　40　 　from my friend, and which were too large for me, came off. So there was I, standing at the 　　41　　 of a ten-foot–deep pit, with no light and one shoe on one foot, surrounded by seven or eight deadly Gaboon snakes. I had never been more 　　42　 　. I had to wait in the dark, without daring to move, 　　43　 　my friend pulled the lamp out, relit it and lowered it into the pit again.

With plenty of 　　44　 　and both shoes on, I felt much 　　45　　 , and set about the task of catching the snakes. This was really 　　46　 　enough.

I had a forked stick in my hand, and with this I came near each reptile, pinned it down with the fork and then 　　47　 　it up by the back of the neck, and put it into my snake bag. What I had to 　　48　 　out for was that while I was busying catching one snake, another might move round 　　49　 　me and I might step back on it. However, it all passed off without 　　50　　 , and at the end of half an hour I had caught eight of the Gaboon snakes.
