The excitement was short-lived however. When they14 the valley, they saw another higher mountain. They had climbed the 15 hill! It was too late that weekend to correct their 16. They had to wait another 4 months to climb the right mountain.

But half an hour later, he called back to say that my penguin had been found. It was late, 47 I drove several hours to get my little 48 , arriving near midnight.
When I rushed to the hotel, I found that it was waiting at the front desk. In the lobby(大厅), some 49 business travelers looked at us, I think, with some 50 and envy(羡慕). Someone came out to shake my hand. One man told me that he had even volunteered to 51 it to me the very next day.
