Some time later the tortoise made it to a desert land surrounded (包围) by water on all sides except for one. The landward (向陆地的) side led up to a big mountain. To avoid starving to death, the tortoise decided to climb to the top of the mountain, hoping that he would be able to cross to the other side. When he got to the snow-covered top he was very cold, and then a heavy snow storm started. He just managed to make out a small pathway leading down the other side of the mountain. But the path was guarded (看守) by a big monster (怪物) that wouldnt stop shouting. “Uuh uuh uuh！” Such a sight and sound made tortoise extremely scared,_and all he wanted to do was hide his head inside his shell. But, looking around him, he saw that many other animals were lying in the snow, with looks of fear on their faces. So the tortoise didnt go into his shell. He summoned up (鼓起) all his courage to move down the path towards the monster. The closer the tortoise got, the more the monster changed its shape. Then, when he was almost upon it, the tortoise realized that what he had thought was a monster was only a great pile of rocks, which formed a shape just like a monster. As for the “Uuh uuh uuh”， the tortoise realized this was just the sound of the wind blowing through a small cave. The tortoise carried on, and finally went down into a beautiful valley, filled with woods and plenty of food. The tortoise lived very happily there. 语篇解读　作者通过这个故事告诉我们，不要被事物的表象所迷惑。 1．The tortoise decided to climb to the other side of the mountain ________.
