Question
Bring out the people’s reaction to the noises from the surgery.
Solution
The men who disliked the moan from inside the surgical room of the dentist made different interpretations. One man claimed that he would ask for gas to dull the pain of tooth extraction. But another man alarmed him saying he knew someone who never recovered from the effect of the gas. Two men left the waiting room because it was getting late for their offices. The first patient’s wife was very upset. She cried and tried to go to the surgical room to see if her husband Joe was okay.

Read the following note from a school girl’s diary:

Miss Fernandes is our new class teacher. She is slim and fit even at the age of 50. With her grey hair, spectacles, and plain formal clothes, she looks so strict! But we discovered that her classes can be great fun. We begin each class with a simple two-minute game or activity. Today we had to write as many words beginning with 'a' as we could, within 60 seconds. I wrote 50! I got a pot on my back for making 'the best effort'! I feel on top of the world. |
