In eighteen thirty, only a few miles away from what is now the great city of Cincinnan, Ohio, lay a 36 and a
lmost endless forest.
The area had a few settlements 37 by people of the frontier. Many of them had already left the area for settlements further 39 the west. 
But among those 40 was a man who had been one of the first people to arrive there.
He lived alone in a house of logs surrounded 41 all sides by the great forest. He seemed a part of the darkness and 42 of the forest, for no one had 43 known him to smile or speak an unnecessary word. His simple needs were 44 by selling or trading the skins of wild animals in the town.
His little log house had a single door. Directly 45 was a window. The window was boarded up（堵住）. No one could remember a(n) 46 when it was not. And no one knew why it had been 47 . I imagine there are few people living today who ever knew the 48 of that window. But I am one, as you shall 49 .
The man's name was said to be Murlock. He 50 to be seventy years old, but he was really fifty. Something other than years had been the 51 of his aging.
His hair and long, full beard were white. His gray, 52 eyes were sunken. His face was wrinkled. He was tall and thin with drooping shoulders—like someone with many 53 .
I never saw him. These 54 I learned from my grandfather. He told me the man's story 55 I was a boy. He had known him when living nearby in that early day.

Halfway through the summer, he __51__ it to the top of the slide. With my arms __52_ him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his reaction. After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big __53__ and asked, “May I go down again, alone？”
