9. Is …the proper title for the passage?
Passage 4
First Frenchman: I once heard someone shout, “Look out.” I put my head out of a window and a bucket of water fell on me. It seems that “Look out” may mean “Don’t look out.”
Second Frenchman: I was once on a ship and heard the captain shout, “All hands on deck. I put my hands on the deck and someone walked on them.”
Third Frenchman: I once went early in the morning to the doctor’s and his nurse came to the door and said, “He’s not up yet. Come back in half an hour.” When I went a second time for him, she said, “He’s not down yet.” I had to go away again. Later I thought the doctor should be in the house in the evening, so I went there once more. “Oh, how sorry I am! He’s not in! I’d better tell him to wait for you if you could come tomorrow.” said the nurse. “Well! He’s not up, he is not down, and he is not in. Please tell me where he stays!” I said angrily.
