turning away from the sea we wandered 1 inland, finding as we went various herbs and fruits which we ate, feeling that we might as well live as long as possible though we had no hope of escape. presently we saw in the far distance what seemed to us to be a splendid palace, towards which we turned our weary(疲倦的) steps, but when we reached it we saw that it was a castle, lofty, and strongly built. pushing back the heavy ebony(乌木制的) doors we entered the courtyard, but upon the threshold of the great hall beyond it we paused, frozen with horror, at the sight which greeted us. on one side lay a huge pile of bones--human bones, and on the other numberless spits for roasting! overcome with despair we sank trembling to the ground, and lay there without speech or motion. the sun was setting when a loud noise aroused us, the door of the hall was violently burst open and a horrible giant entered. he was as tall as a palm tree, and 2 black, and had one eye, which flamed like a burning coal in the middle of his forehead. his teeth were long and sharp and grinned horribly, while his lower lip hung down upon his chest, and he had ears like elephant's ears, which covered his shoulders, and nails like the claws of some fierce bird. 
 
at this terrible sight our senses left us and we lay like dead men. when at last we came to ourselves the giant sat examining us 3 with his fearful eye. presently when he had looked at us enough he came towards us, and stretching out his hand took me by the back of the neck, turning me this way and that, but feeling that i was 4 skin and bone he set me down again and went on to the next, whom he treated in the same fashion; at last he came to the captain, and finding him the fattest of us all, he took him up in one hand and stuck him upon a spit and proceeded to 5 a huge fire at which he presently roasted him. after the giant had supped he lay down to sleep, snoring like the loudest thunder, while we lay shivering with horror the whole night through, and when day broke he awoke and went out, leaving us in the castle. 
 
when we believed him to be really gone we started up 6 our horrible fate, until the hall echoed with our despairing cries. though we were many and our enemy was alone it did not occur to us to kill him, and indeed we should have found that a hard task, even if we had thought of it, and no plan could we devise to deliver ourselves. so at last, submitting to our sad fate, we spent the day in wandering up and down the island eating such fruits as we could find, and when night came we returned to the castle, having sought in vain for any other place of shelter. at sunset the giant returned, supped upon one of our unhappy comrades, slept and snored till dawn, and then left us as before. our condition seemed to us so 7 that several of my companions thought it would be better to leap from the cliffs and perish in the waves at once, rather than await so 8 an end; but i had a plan of escape which i now unfolded to them, and which they at once agreed to attempt. 
 
"listen, my brothers," i added. "you know that plenty of driftwood lies along the shore. let us make several rafts, and carry them to a suitable place. if our plot succeeds, we can wait patiently for the chance of some passing ship which would rescue us from this fatal island. if it fails, we must quickly take to our rafts; 9(脆弱的) as they are, we have more chance of saving our lives with them than we have if we remain here." 
 
all agreed with me, and we spent the day in building rafts, each capable of carrying three persons. at nightfall we returned to the castle, and very soon in came the giant, and one more of our number was sacrificed. but the time of our 10 was at hand! as soon as he had finished his horrible repast he lay down to sleep as before, and when we heard him begin to snore i, and nine of the boldest of my comrades, rose softly, and took each a spit, which we made red-hot in the fire, and then at a given signal we 11 it with one accord into the giant's eye, completely blinding him. uttering a terrible cry, he sprang to his feet clutching in all directions to try to seize one of us, but we had all fled different ways as soon as the deed was done, and thrown ourselves flat upon the ground in corners where he was not likely to touch us with his feet. 
 
after a vain search he 12 about till he found the door, and fled out of it howling frightfully. as for us, when he was gone we made haste to leave the fatal castle, and, stationing ourselves beside our rafts, we waited to see what would happen. our idea was that if, when the sun rose, we saw nothing of the giant, and no longer heard his howls, which still came faintly through the darkness, growing more and more distant, we should conclude that he was dead, and that we might safely stay upon the island and need not risk our lives upon the frail rafts. but 13! morning light showed us our enemy approaching us, supported on either hand by two giants nearly as large and fearful as himself, while a crowd of others followed close upon their heels. hesitating no longer we clambered upon our rafts and rowed with all our might out to sea. the giants, seeing their 14 escaping them, seized up huge pieces of rock, and 15 into the water 16 them after us with such good aim that all the rafts except the one i was upon were swamped, and their luckless crews drowned, without our being able to do anything to help them. indeed i and my two companions had all we could do to keep our own raft beyond the reach of the giants, but by 17 of hard rowing we at last gained the open sea. here we were at the mercy of the winds and waves, which tossed us to and fro all that day and night, but the next morning we found ourselves near an island, upon which we gladly landed. #p#分页标题#e#
 
there we found delicious fruits, and having satisfied our hunger we presently lay down to rest upon the shore. suddenly we were aroused by a loud 18 noise, and starting up, saw that it was caused by an immense snake which was 19 towards us over the sand. so swiftly it came that it had seized one of my comrades before he had time to fly, and in spite of his cries and struggles speedily crushed the life out of him in its 20 coils and proceeded to swallow him. by this time my other companion and i were running for our lives to some place where we might hope to be safe from this new horror, and seeing a tall tree we climbed up into it, having first provided ourselves with a store of fruit off the surrounding bushes. when night came i fell asleep, but only to be 21 once more by the terrible snake, which after 22 horribly round the tree at last reared itself up against it, and finding my sleeping comrade who was perched just below me, it swallowed him also, and crawled away leaving me half dead with terror.
