the following passage and do the all activities given below. I placed on the summit the offerings to God that i had carried with me. This is in accord with my religion. Both my wife and I are Buddhists. I could not kneel because of my clothes and equipment. But I offered a silent prayer in my heart. The offerings were biscuits, candy and a little blue pencil, My youngest daughter, Nima, had given me the pencil before i left home. She Asked me to put it on the top of the mountain as her offering. It was an ordinary blue pencil, not even a long one, but it was one of her prized possessions. As I put it down, I pointed it out to Hiltary. He gave me a big smile, showing that he understood. Then I got up the flags which I had on piece of string about four feet long I fastened one end to my ice axe and Hillary took pictures as I held it up. As I had to bring my ice axe down with me, I buried one end of the string in the ice on the top, and the other in snow on the slope down below. When we left, they were lying flat against the summit. I was very thirsty. I took out a water tumbler for a drink, but found the water in the metal container had frozen so I couldn't quench my thirst. I ate some biscuits and offered some to Hillary. I was wearing a red scarf which my great friend Lambert (leader of the 1952 Swiss expedition) had given me last year. It was just a year ago, on May 28, when we were standing at 28215 feet, that he gave me the scarf. I wore it all the way up the mountain from Darjeeling. As i stood at the top, I mind was absolutely clear. I didn't feel tired i felt exhilarated. It was a very clear sensation.
