31.
    With a sudden surge, a huge crocodile, his back covered with dazzling green scales, his jaws spread wide exposing rows of teeth and a giant crimson tongue sprang like a leopard out of the water beneath us. We were jammed into the bottom of the basket then thrown out of it altogether as it flew into the air. I sailed past a thrashing tail. I saw myself spinning out of control, arms and legs akimbo and the dogs tumbling with me while dozens of fish flew around me like hail.
