A grasshopper is hopping in the angle $x\ge 0, y\ge 0$ of the coordinate plane (that means that it cannot land in the point with negative coordinate). If it is in the point $(x,y)$, it can either jump to the point $(x+1,y-1)$, or to the point $(x-5,y+7)$. Draw a set of such an initial points $(x,y)$, that having started from there, a grasshopper cannot reach any point farther than $1000$ from the point $(0,0)$. Find its area.
