The tribe3would say to their children, "See, there is Gwondo and his dogs, searching for 4 for us all. " Gwondo went out hunting every day and always came5 with much food. And all were very happy.

    Now Gwondo grew6 and as all humans do, one day he died. The tribe felt sad and cried many days and many nights7 one day the elders called to their children, " You have cried enough for Gwondo. Now it is time to8 living. Go down to the beach and  be happy.

    The children ran downto the beach and looked out to sea. 9 they all looked at  each other, then turned and ran back to their elders10, "Come quickly. Gwondo, he is back with us. He is out in the sea. " The elders hurried to the11 and said, "Yes! It is Gwondo back! He is now a dolphin and lives in the sea. "

To his surprise, he saw a great hairy animal 5 on two legs. As he watched, it ran out of sight（视线）.

    Fifteen years later, there were 6 about the thing in the newspapers. A mountain climber said that he had seen the “snowman”   7 slowly across the snow, far below him. He said it looked like a very large hairy man.

    From that time on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back 8 of giant (巨大的) footprints. The picture showed 9 that the snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an ape man? The mystery grew!

    And the mystery keeps on growing. 10 men still hunt the snowman in the high mountains. Some day we may find out just what it is that makes the giant footprints.
