I was very fond of hunting when I was a young man. In the autumn of 1915, I was     16     in the northwest of India. One evening, after hunting in the forest all     17    ， I was returning alone to the place where I had     18     up my tent. I was tired     19     hungry. It was getting     20     and darker, and I was walking slowly     21     a narrow path. On my right was a wide river; on my left, a     22    ， dark forest. All of a     23     I saw two green eyes looking at me from among the trees. I knew it     24     be a man-eating tiger. The tiger was getting ready to     25     on me.
My heart     26    . What could I do? Should I jump     27     the river and hope to save my life     28     swimming? I looked to the     29    . In the river there was a     30     crocodile waiting to wele me with its mouth     31     open. I was so      32     that I shut my eyes. And I thought it would be the end of my     33    .

The tiger had jumped right over me and now in the jaws (嘴) of the crocodile.
