our route according to plan, we discovered something the map had not told us It was impossible to climb down into the King valley The river lay deep between mountain sides that were almost vertical We couldn’t find any animal tracks, which usually show the best way across country, and the slopes were covered so thickly with bushes that we could not see the nature of the ground We had somehow to break through to the river which would give us our direction out of the mountants into the inhabited lowlands Our guide cut a narrow path through the bushes with his long knife and we followed in single file Progress was slow Then, when we thought we had really reached the river, we found ourselves instead on the edge of a cliff with a straight drop of 1,000 feet to the water below We climbed back up the slope and began to look for another way down We climbed, slipped, sweated, and scratched our hands to pieces and finally arrived at the river Happily we strode downhill along its bank without having to cut our way However, after a few miles the river entered a steep-sided gap between rocks and suddenty dropped thirty-five feet over a waterfall There was no path alongside it and no way round it Then one of the guides saw the way of overcoming the difficulty There was a fallen tree lying upside down over the waterfall with its leafy top resting on the opposite bank below the falls Without hesitation he climbed down the slippery trunk to show us how easy it was Having got to fork of the tree, he moved hand over hand along a branch for four or five feet with his legs hanging in space, then he dropped onto the flat bank the other side, throwing his arms in the air like a footballer who has scored a goal and cheerfully waving us on 96 Having reached the highest

mountains D it was a quicker route than going over the mountains 98 One the reason why the travelers took so long to get to the river was that A it was too hot to move quickly B there was no proper path C they all tried to go different ways D they could not follow the animal track 99 The travelers were happy when they reached the river because A they had a sense of achievement B the going was much easier then C they were eager to see the waterfall D they knew they were near their destination 100 To get path the waterfall the guide had to A use a fallen tree as a kind of bridge B cross the
