In a hurry to get into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, a crocodile(鳄鱼) was swimming toward him. His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two.

Each plant can produce about four to seven kilograms of fruit. Fruited plants take about eighty days to grow from seed(种子). Cold weather can damage young plants, so they are often grown inside for four to six weeks. A tomato plant can grow several thick stems(茎) from its base. Only two or three stems should be kept.
