In 1951, a British explorer, Eric Shipton, was climbing in the Himalayas, south of Mount Everest. He wasn’t exploring alone. There were several climbers and Sherpas with him. They weren’t climbing that day, but they were walking through thick snow on a mountain 6,000 metres high when they saw a line of footprints. They followed the footprints for 500 metres. The footprints were 33 cm long, 20 cm wide and a few centimetres deep. It wasn’t a bear. The footprints were much too big. The Sherpas said the animal usually lived in the forests and didn’t often come up into the snow. Their name for the animal was the Yeti, or the Wild Man of the Snows. People still come back from the Himalayas today with stories of seeing the Yeti. Вставити слова wide, high, long and deep.
