　　I was so sure that I knew just 38 that rainbow ended. I remembered how glad and proud I was in my thoughts, and what fine presents I promised to all my friends out of my 39 . So thinking, and laying delightful plans, almost before I knew it I had 40 the thick forest, and the end of the rainbow was not there! 41 I saw it shining down among the trees a little farther off; so on and on I 42 , through the thick bushes and 43 rapid streams. The woods grew thicker and darker, and the ground more wet. Suddenly I met in my way a 44 porcupine (豪猪), who made himself still larger when he saw me. Fearing that he would attack me, I ran from him as fast as my 45 feet would carry me. In my 46 and hurry I forgot to keep my eye on the rainbow, and when, at last, I 47 and looked for it, it was nowhere in sight! It had quite 48 away.

He hugged and kissed away all my tears, and then he told me what the rainbow 53 is: “It is only painted air, and does not 54 _ on the earth. But it tells us something more. When you set off on a pilgrimage, you will be 55 by the rainbow through all the dark places of this world to treasures in your heart, better, far better, than silver or gold.”
