What could be in it?George could not fesist.He simply had to open it.It was gull og funny little piece of all sorts og dhapes and all sorts of colors.
George put the piece in his mouth.anf brfore he knew it.he had swallowed it.
It was supposed to be a surprise for you.
it is a brand-new puzzle.Well .it cannot be helped.He had a tummy-ache and did not want to eat his breakfast.I will be over as soon as I can.
Anf so it was.There were a lot of children in the room.Some were up and around.others were in their beds.with a doctor or a nurse looking after them.Dave was having a blood transfudion.Steve had his leg bandaged and was sitting in a go-cart.
It is going to hurt.but only for a moment.She took his arm.and George let out a scream.But the needle hasnot touched you yet.And anyway.it was over now.By the time the attendant came with the stretcher to wheel him to the operating room.Geroge was getting sleepy.
He could see a big table with bright lamps over it and doctors anf nurses all around.They had capd on their heads and masks over their faces.only their eyes were showing.
One of the doctors winked at George and oattef his head.It was Doctor Baker.who had been to the house when it all had started.He looked funny with his mask on.
They got the piece out.In a day or two you will be running around again.But George felt sick and dizzy.His throat wad hurting.too.He even ate a dish of ice cream.Betsy was watching him from time to time.She seemed a little less sad.but she still did not smile.Steve eheeled his go-cart over to Georges bed.Tomorrow I can get up and try to walk!Boy.I can hardly wait.
If he climbed on the record player and turned the switch.would it go round and round like a real merry-go-round?George had lost his balance and was sailing through the air.
Luckily George landef on a sogt cushiom.Youd better take a nap before lunch.We have a big day ahead of us.The mayor is coming go visit the hospital today.
Then he grabbed the wheels and then,while nobody was looking.he wheeled the go-cart tight out of the room.
But Geroge was too excited to listen.He eheeled around the corner and down the ramp to the floor below.where some men were busy pushing lunch carts.and a lot of doctors and nurses were showing the mayor around.
Lunch carts tumbled.Spinach and scrambled eggs and strawberry jam were all over the floor.
What will the mayor think of it?whispered someone else.And so it went.
Betsy come running down the ramp.threw her arms around Geroge.anf kissed him.but I think we will just clean up the mess and be done with it.
As the car was turning into the driveway Nurse Carol came running after them.
well.eho woulf not be?The moment he reached home hr ripped the paper off.tore open the box and there was the piece of the puzzle that had caused all the trouble.How nice of the doctor to davr it for us!
