Question

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was treated as the apple of their eyes.

One morning, when the boy was around two years old, the husband saw a       bottle open. He was       for work, so he       the wife to cap the bottle and put it in the cupboard. The mother,       in the kitchen, totally       the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and       went to it and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It       to be a poisonous medicine meant       adults in small dosages. When the child fell down, the mother       hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was shocked; she was       . How would she       her husband?

When the       father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words. What do you think those four words were? The husband just said, "I       You Darling", which is totally       .

She had also lost her only child. What she       at that moment was comfort and sympathy from the husband. That is what he       her.
