阅读理解In the high mountain

Is there a strange something high up in the world;s tallest mountains? If so, is it a big bear? Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man?

No one knows. This mystery has puzzled the world for years. In 1887, a mountain climber found giant footprint in the snow. They looked like the footprint of a very large man. But men don;t walk barefoot in the snow!

In 1906, another climber saw more than footprints. Far off, he saw a great hairy animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it ran out of sight.

Fifteen years later, newspapers had new stories about the “something”. A mountain climber said he had seen the “Snow man” walk slowly across the snow, far below him. He said it looked like a very large hairy man.

From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of giant footprints. The pictures showed clearly that Snow man walked on

the snow.

And the mystery keeps on growing. Brave men still hunt the Snow man in the high mountain. Some day we will find out just what it is that makes the giant footprints.
