We understand that Sue and Anne were not far from home
a building was damaged when the tree was blown down
on this particular occasion, Sue and Anne were lucky
the falling tree barely missed landing on Anne and Sue
Sue and Anne were in a forest when the wind started
At first, the wind blew down the tree Sue and Anne were sheltering under
made it impossible for Anne and Sue to hear each other
prevented Sue and Anne from continuing their journey
appeared to be with Sue and Anne
caused Anne and Sue to fall off their bicycles
From Sue's first statement - "The wind's with us!" - it's clear that Sue was much braver than Anne
the wind was blowing in the direction they were travelling
the wind wasn't as strong as they'd originally thought
she was trying to stop Anne from becoming too frightened
the wind was starting to drop as they set out
43 WEEP FOR HEALTH Anger, fear, or the shock of sudden sorrow brings physical changes in our bodies. The digestion is shut down, the blood pressure is raised, the heart speeds up, and the skin becomes cold. If maintained over a prolonged period, this emergency status makes the body - and the personality - tight, dry and rigid. In people who are afraid to let themselves pour forth their painful emotions, doctors find that suppressed tears can trigger such ailments as asthma, migraine headache, and many others. Weeping, on the other hand, comes as part of the reversal of conditions of alarm, shock and anger. Tears do not, therefore, mark a breakdown or low point, but a transition to warmth, hope and health. So there is a genuine wisdom in tears. In permitting ourselves to weep instead of repressing the impulse, we help ourselves to health.
