--- Lesson 48 Did you want to tell me something? |
[00:08.640] |
--- First listen and then answer the question. |
[00:14.600] |

My dentist had just pulled out one of my teeth and had told me to rest for a while. |
[00:34.160] |
I tried to say something, but my mouth was full of cotton wool. |
[00:40.480] |
He knew I collected match boxes and asked me whether my collection was growing. |
[00:47.760] |
He then asked me how my brother was and whether I liked my new job in London. |
[00:54.440] |
In answer to these questions I either nodded or made strange noises. |
[01:00.880] |
Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching out the hole where the tooth had been. |
[01:08.120] |
I suddenly felt very worried, but could not say anything. |
[01:13.120] |
When the dentist at last removed the cotton wool from my mouth, |
[01:18.320] |
I was able to tell him that he had pulled out the wrong tooth. |
