In the middle of the night, Peter’s wife suddenly fell ill. She couldn’t help crying, “Oh, my stomach (胃)! Get the16!”
Peter, awaking from a deep sleep, thought his wife was only having a 17dream.
“Stop that noise.” he said to her. He turned over and tried to go to 18again, but his wife still cried out, “Oh, help! Help! I’m sure I’m 19!”
Peter got out of bed and started 20, but he could not find him any clothes.
“Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was21ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my22stomach!”
As soon as he had put his clothes 23, he said, “Now, my dear, are you quite 24that you need the doctor? Surely you can wait 25morning, can’t you?”
“No, I can’t. Go, go, go.” his wife shouted,“ 26you will find me dead 27the morning.”
So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters 28he heard his wife calling him again.
“I’m 29again now, and I shall not want the doctor.” she said softly.
Hearing this, he started running as 30as he could towards the doctor’s. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake 31around.
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 very 32news for you. My wife 33ill 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 suddenly 34her. So you need not come. Go back to35now,and sleep well!”
