Question

One morning Mrs. Smith is cleaning the room. She asks her husband Mr. Smith to look after their son, Tom. Tom is only 3 years old. He is playing on the floor. There are some toys around him. Suddenly, he puts a one-dollar coin into his mouth, and swallows (吞) it.

Mr. And Mrs. Smith are afraid. They take their son to the hospital. The doctor takes the coin out of the boy’s mouth. But the doctor puts the coin into his pocket. Mr. Smith says nothing.

Mr. Smith gives the doctor 39 dollars.

“You put the coin into your pocket. It is a one-dollar coin,” says Mr. Smith.
