37 for many years .In 1881 he returned to Scotland to spend
38 .With him were his American wife Fanny and his son
39 .
Each morning they would go out for a
40 over the hills .They had been
41 this for several days before the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse. Kept indoors by the heavy rain, Lloyd, Stevenson’s son, felt the days
42 .To keep the boy happy, Robert asked the boy to do some
43 .
One morning, the boy came to Robert with a beautiful map of an island. Robert
44 that the boy had drawn a large cross in the middle of
45 . “What’s that?” he asked “That’s the
46 treasure”, said the boy. Robert suddenly
47 something of an adventure(冒险) story in the boy’s
48 .While the rain was pouring ,Robert sat down by the fire to write a story. He would make the
49 a twelve-year-old boy just like Lloyd .But who would be molded(塑造) into the hero — a pirate(海盗)?
Robert had a good friend named Henley, who walked with the
50 of a wooden leg , Robert had always wanted to
51 such a man in a story.
52 Long John Silver, the pirate with a wooden leg, was
53 .So thanks to a
54 September in Scotland, a friend with a wooden leg and the imagination of a twelve-year-old boy, we have one of the greatest
55 stories in the English language.
