Denny Crook was a famous photographer. He traveled all over the world, taking pictures for magazines and newspapers, and won many prizes.
“I’ll do anything to get a good photo,” he often said. “I’ll go anywhere at any time, even if it is   26 .”
And he told the   27 . He had photos of earthquakes, forest fires, floods and even wars. If something interesting happened, Denny went to photo it.
He was a married man and his wife often asked him to take her with him, but he always   28 .”I’ll travel for my work, not for   29 ,” he told her. “You won’t enjoy yourself, and I won’t have   30  to look after you. Sometimes there’s not even anywhere to   31 , and I have to sleep outside. I often don’t have a good   32  or a bath for days. You won’t like it.”
“Denny, I’m not a child,” his wife didn’t   33 . “I can look after myself. Please take me with you the next time you go overseas.”
Denny did not say anything, but he   34  about it, and when he was asked to go to Africa he said to his wife, “You can come to Africa with me if you want to. I’ve got to take photos of wild   35  there. It should be interesting and not too uncomfortable.”
His wife was very   36 , and at first she had a very enjoyable time.
Then Denny went to off to   37  some lions to photo. His wife went with him, but before long they became separated. She walked down one path while he walked down the other.
Suddenly, Denny heard her   38 . He ran back and saw her running toward him. A huge lion was chasing her.
Quickly Denny took his camera out of its case and   39  it at his wife and the lion.
Then he shouted, “  40 , woman! I can’t get you both in the picture!”
