48课 Did you want to tell me something
Dentists always ask questions when it is impossiblefor you to answer. My dentist had just pulled outone of my teeth and had told me to rest for a while. Itried to say something, but my mouth was full ofcottonwool. He knew I collected match boxes andasked me whether my collection was growing. Hethen asked me how my brother was and whether Iliked my new job in London. In answer to thesequestions I either nodded or made strange noises.Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching outthe hole where the tooth had been. I suddenly felt very worried, but could not sayanything. When the dentist at last removed the cotton wool from my mouth, I was ableto tell him that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.
