Mr. Thomas had always wanted to make a trip into the middle of Africa to shoot wild animals. But first he had not had enough money， and after he had married， his wife had not wanted him to leave her. At last his wife agreed to the trip if he allowed her to go， too.

“But it will be very uncomfortable，” Mr. Thomas warned her， “It will be very hot and we shall live in a tent， and it may be dangerous.”

“I dont care，” said his wife， “I want to go with you.” So they bought a big tent， camp beds and a refrigerator， which did not need electricity and many other things， which would make the trip comfortable， and went off to the middle of Africa.
