8、Peter and Paul had got permission from their parents to camp in a field close to their farm. But, being adventurous boys, they know it would be more 1    to camp in the woods that lay beyond the river. Excitedly, the boys 2   with their tent and food.

Carrying their heavy 3   , the two brothers walked along the riverbank, hardly noticing the distance or the sun beating down. They were eager to reach their 4   before lunchtime. As they entered the cool, shadowy woods, they began to search for a suitable camping spot. Peter wanted to 5    close to the river at the edge of the woods, 6   Paul, who was older, insisted that they camp further away. 7   , Peter followed his brother deeper into the 8  . “This really is a wonderful setting!” said Paul in excitement. They 9  their tent, and settled down to eat the sandwiches they had made, then decided to find their way 10  to the river to catch some fish.

“Are you sure that this is the right 11   ?” whispered Peter shakily. “I’m sure we passed that hollow tree just a while ago.” Paul walked 12   silently. “Look, there it is again. We’re lost, aren’t we?” complained Peter. Paul had to admit that he didn’t know where they were.13   , they were a long distance from where they were 14   to be. They were not even 15   of where they had set up their camp. They set in 16  for a few minutes until Peter had a bright idea. “Why don’t we look for clues(线索) the way trackers 17   in the movies? We weren’t careful about how we walked, so I’m sure we would have left 18  some broken tree branches and leaves.”

Carefully, the boys 19  the marks that they had left, until finally they found their campsite. Hurriedly, they packed their belongings and set off 20  the direction of the river.
