I found the fish __30__ surrounded in a sea of customers.“I'd like to buy some fresh fish,”I shouted to the fishman.But he __31__ my English words and turned to serve the next customer.The laugh of the people behind increased __32__ their impatience.With every __33__,the breath of the dragons(龙)on my back grew stronger—my blood boiling—__34__ me to cry out,“Xian Sheng Yu,please.”“Very Xian Sheng,”I repeated.The crowd erupted into laughter.My face turned __35__ and I ran back home __36__,except for the $20 bill I held tightly in my pocket.
