Question

In the middle of the night, Peter's wife suddenly fell ill. She couldn't help crying, “Oh, my stomach! Get the !” Peter, awaking from a deep sleep, thought his wife was only having a dream. “Stop that noise,” he said to her. He turned over and tried to go to again, but his wife still cried out, “Oh, help!help! I'm sure I'm dying.”

Peter got out of bed and started but he could not find him any clothes.

“Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my stomach!”

As soon as he had put his clothes he said, “Now, my dear, are you quite certain that you need the doctor? Surely you can wait until morning, can’t you?”

“No, I can't. Go, go, go,” his wife shouted,

“ you will find me dead the morning.”

So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters he heard his wife calling him again.

“I’m again now, and I shall not want the doctor,” she said, softly.

Hearing this, he started running as as he could towards the doctor’s. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake everyone around.

The doctor put his sleepy head out of the bedroom window and said, “ Er? Who’s there?”

“Oh, Doctor.” Peter called up to him, “I’ve very news for you. My wife ill with a terrible stomachache. I was on my way to bring you to her, but she called me back to say the trouble had suddenly left her. So you need not come. Go back to now, and sleep well!”
