Sweet T made the inference that the crocodile was not a danger to the
other animals living with Doctor Dolittle. Which detail from the story
BEST supports Sweet T's inference?
He asked couldn't he sleep in
the fish-pond at the bottom
of the garden, if he promised
not to eat the fish.
3 And another time, when the circus came to Puddleby.
the crocodile who had a bad tooth-ache escaped at
night and came into the Doctor's garden. The Doctor
talked to him in crocodile-language and took him into
the house and made his tooth better. But when the
crocodile saw what a nice house it was with all the
different places for the different kinds of animals-he
too wanted to live with the Doctor. He asked couldn't
he sleep in the fish-pond at the bottom of the garden,
if he promised not to eat the fish. When the
circus-men came to take him back he got so wild and
savage that he frightened them away. But to every
one in the house he was always as gentle as a kitten.
