Moving slowly toward the bank can【C7】______hours, as an individual wildebeest steps forward, steps back and then carefully steps forward again. More wildebeests gather together and advance, gradually pushing the leaders to the river, 【C8】______they want to go or not.

Sitting on that riverbank, I noticed that a young wildebeest finally stepped ahead and drank while the【C14】______adults held back. Soon, others began drinking. But【C15】______lining up along the bank, taking turns, they gathered and pushed. Some had to walk farther into the water than they were【C16】______to go. Those pushed farther in water got frightened and in【C17】______frightened the others. They all retreated hastily and returned to their route. Only the few that were【C18】______enough got a drink. The others went【C19】______. There was no danger that day. Only the wildebeests’ fear and【C20】______of courage kept them from drinking.
