Tarzan had xx1xx
scarce a dozen steps toward the jungle when a great form rose up before him from
the shadows of a low bush. At xx2xx he thought it
was one of his own people but in another instant he realized that it was a huge
gorilla. So close was he that there was no xx3xx
for flight and little Tarzan knew that he must stand and fight for his life; for
these great beasts were the deadly xx4xx of his tribe,
and neither one nor the other ever asked or gave quarter. Had Tarzan been a full-grown
bull ape of the species of his tribe he would have xx5xx
more than a match for the gorilla, but being only a little English boy, though
enormously muscular for such, he stood no chance against his cruel antagonist.
In his veins, though, flowed the xx6xx of the best
of a race of mighty fighters, and back of this was the training of his short lifetime
xx7xx the fierce brutes of the jungle. He knew no
fear, as we know it; his little heart beat the faster but from the excitement
and exhilaration of adventure. Had the opportunity presented itself he would have
escaped, but solely xx8xx his judgment told him he
was no match for the great thing which confronted him. And since reason xx9xx
him that successful flight was xx10xx, he met the
gorilla squarely and bravely without a tremor of a single muscle, or any sign
of panic. Adapted from TARZAN of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs
