hostess (女主人) know that you've just done a labor? |

time. |
Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are? |

My doctor,Dr. Beck,is the greatest. He takes good care of me,and he's a lot of fun too. My illness is hard to understand,but Dr. Beck always takes time to explain to me about it by drawing pictures or telling stories. I draw cartoons for him,too,to make him laugh when he gets tired.
