Mr. Smith worked in an office, and he did a lot of important and difficult work. But when he was fifty he started to forget things, and this made his work difficult. One day he said to himself, “I’m going to see Dr. Black.”
He waited in the doctor’s waiting room with other patients, and then a nurse said to him, “You can go in and see Dr. Black now.”
Mr. Smith went in quickly, and the doctor said, “Please sit down, Mr. Smith. What can I do for you?” “Oh, doctor,” said Mr. Smith, “I can’t remember anything longer than half a minute, and this makes my work very hard. What can I do?” The doctor said,“When did this start, Mr. Smith?”
