One night a little boy and his father were in the woods. The little boy walked fast and walked ahead of his father. He wasn't careful and felled down a hole. Luckily he wasn't hurt, but he still needed help to get out. The little boy called out for help and his father heard him. His father ran home and retrieve a rope. He rushed to his son and tied one end to himself and threw the other end into the hole. The rope was very long and was able to reach his son.
The little boy ties the rope around his own waist. He couldn't see very well but he can hear his father's voice. He made his way up the hole, touching and feeling the sides of the dirt wall. He was scared and wasn't very good climbing at first. However, with time he was able to fumble his way out of the hole.
Sometimes you don't have the experience to do a task or you are put in a situation where you have to learn on the spot. You grope your way and figure things out. That is what 摸索 (T/S) [mōsuǒ] means.
摸 (T) [mō] to touch
索 (S) [suǒ] large cable or rope
