My mum was a French teacher and we went to France on holiday a few times when I was growing up. I live in the UK so it's just a quick trip on a ferry away (or through the chunnel now on a train). Anyway, when we were in France one time, my mum bought my brother and I a French comic. We barely understood any of it except for a story involving a character called Stark because that particular comic story was mostly pictures with very little text.

It was obvious that Stark and this other guy were enemies who probably wanted to kill each other. Then Stark's enemy fell into quicksand in a desolate place away from civilization so no-one would have been able to save him except his enemy (who thought he wanted to kill him!). As far as I can remember the guy drowning in quicksand shouted Stark! many, many times because he knew no-one else could save him. Stark did eventually try and save him but his thinking about not wanting to save the drowning guy (his enemy) for a crucial amount of time, caused his attempt to rescue him to be unsuccessful.

I also added the 777 because I'd like to think I wouldn't have hesitated, like the Stark in the comic and would have managed to save him from drowning in quicksand. 777 has all sorts of magical or lucky meanings I believe. My use of it is hopefully only helpful magic

Thanks for this!
