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      .”

And he told the      . He had photos of earthquakes, forest fires, floods and even wars. If something interesting happened, Sam went to photo it.

He was a married man and his wife often asked him to take her with him, but he always        . “I’ll travel for my work, not for      ,” he told her . “You won’t enjoy yourself, and I won’t have        to care for you. Sometimes there’s not even anywhere to      , and I have to sleep outside. I often don’t have a good      or a bath for days. You won’t like it.”

“Denny, I’m not a child, I can look after myself. ” his wife didn’t        . “Please take me with you the next time you go overseas.”

Denny said nothing, but he        about it, and when he was asked to go to Africa he said, “You can come to Africa with me if you want to. I’ve got to take photos of wild          there. It should be interesting and not too uncomfortable.”

His wife was very      , and at first she had a very enjoyable time.

Then Denny went off to        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.

Then Denny heard her        . He ran back and saw her running toward him. A huge lion was running after her.

Quickly Denny took his camera out of his case and          it at his wife and the lion.

Then he shouted, “      , woman! I can’t get you both in the picture!”
