Peter, awaking from a deep sleep, thought his wife was only having a 2dream.
“Stop that noise.” he said to her. He turned over and tried to go to3again, but his wife still cried out, “Oh, help! Help! I’m sure I’m4!”
Peter got out of bed and started5, but he could not find him any clothes.
“Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was 6ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my 7stomach!”
As soon as he had put his clothes8, he said, “Now, my dear, are you quite9that you need the doctor? Surely you can wait10morning, can’t you?”
“No, I can’t. Go, go, go.” his wife shouted,“11you will find me dead12the morning.”
So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters13he heard his wife calling him again.
“I’m14again now, and I shall not want the doctor.” she said softly.
Hearing this, he started running as15as he could towards the doctor’s. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake16around.
The doctor put his sleepy head out of the bedroom window and said, “Er? Who’s there?”
“Oh, Doctor.”Peter said to him, “I’ve very17news for you. My wife18ill with a terrible stomachache (胃疼). I was on my way to bring you to her, but she called me back to say the trouble had suddenly19her. So you need not come. Go back to 20now,and sleep well!”
