[00:01.040]--- Lesson 48 Did you want to tell me something?
[00:08.640]--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:14.600]--- Why did the writer become very worried?
[00:20.760]Dentists always ask questions when it is impossible for you to answer.
[00:27.440]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.
