One day a dentist was
starting his morning work. Suddenly a man ran in. His face was red and he could
only say "Quick! Quick!" The dentist thought he must be very ill. His
assistant helped to make the poor man sit in a chair. The dentist gave the man
some medicine to make him sleep. Then, he looked into the man's mouth and
pulled out all the bad teeth. As soon as the man woke up, he said in a low
voice, "Quick, doctor, quick."
"It's all right
now," the dentist told him, "It's over."
"You don't
understand," said the man, "I came to tell you your house is on fire."
