John Perry stood up and looked around again. The island had been a good place to find shells. But now how could he make the       move out to sea…? If they swam out to sea he could jump in and get to shore      they saw him.
He saw the sharks rolling and playing. Their       was now gone and they were killing for fun. How could he make them move away?
He drew his knife from his belt. Sharks can       blood, he thought. He put the knife against his leg and cut deep into the       . The blood ran out and he caught it on his white shirt. When the shirt was red and wet he tied some cloth around his leg to       the flow of blood. He then tied a long piece of cloth to the shirt, threw it into the water and      it with the piece of cloth.
The sharks smelled the blood and came       toward the shirt. He ran down the sand reef pulling the shirt and the sharks raced after it. He was       them away from shore. Suddenly he dropped the cloth, turned toward the       and ran as fast as he could. He jumped in the water and swam.
He was halfway across      he turned to look back. A high bony fin (鳍) was      through the water toward him. He put his face in the water and kicked and splashed himself       as fast as he could. The shore was near now.
He lifted his head again to      and he saw the shore very near. From behind he left the water rush toward him, almost pushing him, helping him. And then a great gray body hit him and almost rolled him over in the water. He touched the shore with   35 and he pulled himself up the stones. The shark,      by the smell of blood and the chase (追逐), went wildly after him. Its great body crashed against      .
The end came quickly and the water was covered with the shark’s blood. The injured shark was eaten up       by others as it tried to escape.
Perry slowly struggled       his feet.
“So,” he said, “you did not get me.” And he looked down at the sharks still eating  40   they weren’t hungry. He climbed up the stones and walked toward the village.
