An honorable historian studied historical events and people. His book opened up new horizons for people. His hobby was to collect homogeneous animals' horns home and abroad. The horns were holy to him. November 20, 1978 was a historic day for the historian. He got married and began his honeymoon on the sea. The weather forecast said horrible weather was coming. His wife was filled with horror at the news. But the historian made his choice and he would hold on to the end. When danger came, he would not hold back. He was on his honor to ensure her safety. She was sure of his honesty. So the sailors hoisted the flags and set sail. From the third day, it rained. The rain held on. The ship held out against strong wind and big waves. The food supplies held out for a week. The voyage had been held up by the horrible weather. Three days later, the sun appeared above the horizon. The historian drew a horizontal line on the date to remember it. His wife caught fish with fishhooks for fun. The next adventure they took was to go across the African jungle. But the thieves held up their truck and took everything in it. Only a hollow lamp holder was left. The searching team did not find the couple. Whether they were alive or not, this was a riddle hitherto unknown. That year, the country set up a holiday in honor of the historian.
一名可敬的历史学家研究有关历史的事迹和人物。他的书打开了人们的眼界。他的爱好是收集国内外同种类的动物的角。那些角对他而言很神圣。1978年的11月20日对这名历史学家来说有历史意义。他结婚了并开始了他的海上蜜月旅行。天气预报说可怕的天气即将到来。他的妻子听到消息后心里充满了恐怖。但历史学家做了选择就一定坚持到底。当危险来临时,他不会退缩。他以名誉担保她的安全。她信任他的诚实。于是海员升起船旗出发了。从第三天开始,天下雨了。雨儿继续下着。船在大风大浪中坚持着。食物只能维持一周。航程被可怕的天气阻挡了。三天后,太阳出现在地平线上。历史学家在日期上画了一条水平线来记住这天。他的妻子用鱼钩捕鱼采娱乐。他们接下来的历险是穿越非洲丛林。但窃贼们抢劫了他们的卡车并抢走了所有的东西,只有一个中空的灯的支持物(灯座)留下来。搜查队没有找到那对夫妇。他们是生是死,迄今还是一个谜。那年,为纪念这名历史学家,那个国家设立了一个节日。
