as stepping stones. He died when she was only 39. Unwilling to exist without him, she took her life ,leaving a son in England. "

    I stared at the paper,   1    reading,couldn't help thinking.

    Crocodiles are lazy animals as a rule , but they can move like lightening when they want to. And they don' t mind hurrying   2   they're hungry.

    But her young son, their son? Was her love for him nothing compared to her husband? Well,what do you think?
