在醫(yī)院里，Carl坐在沙發(fā)上，他很不高興。Molly護(hù)士給他拿來了醫(yī)院的睡衣和罩袍。Carl一心要過生日，任性得夠勁，Molly在試著說服他。

    Molly： Carl， does your throat hurt？

    Carl： Yes. Molly： Ok. Do you want to get better？

    Carl： Yes. Molly： Ok. We want you to get better， too. You'll have your tonsils out tomorrow， and you won't get so many colds anymore. Carl： But if I have my tonsils out tomorrow， I'll miss my birthday party on Saturday. Molly： I know. It's a problem， isn't it？ Let me try to work something out. Carl： What？

    Molly： I have to think about it. Carl： You're fooling me. Molly： Oh， I'm not， Carl. Give me a chance to think about it， and I'll come up with something. Carl： A surprise？

    Molly： Maybe. But you just put on your pajamas and robe， and I'll think of a surprise. Carl： Will it hurt？

    Molly： No， There are other boys and girls here， and they're having their tonsils out. You'll meet them . Carl： I don't want to. Molly： Change your clothes， Carl. Everything will be just fine.
