At the Doctor
Doctor: What has happened to you, boy?
Boy: I was playing basketball and I was running very fast when I crashed with another player. I think my left arm has broken, because the pain is killing me.
Doctor: Let me see. You need to take an X-ray.
Boy: OK.
Doctor: (After taking the X-ray) The X-ray shows there’s a fracture. I’ll plaster it.
Boy: How long do I have to carry the plaster?
Doctor: Well, at least 40 days. Then we’ll see how your arm is.
Boy: I’ll try to relax. Thank you, doctor.
Doctor: You’re welcome.
