FEELING SICK

laurance--You look rather pal¹.Aren't you feeling well?

sleep very well.

laurance--What seems to be the matter?Is it the flu?

soony--No,I think it's something I ate.We ate at that

new restaurant last night,and I must have eaten

something that didn't agree with me.

laurance--Was it that new restaurant over on Fourth Street?

soony--As a matter of fact,it was.Why do you ask?

laurance--Because,Jerry ate there last week and had the

same kind of problem.He was sick the next day,

too.

soony--That's interesting.Maybe the health authorities²

should investigate the place.

problems in such a short time can't just be

coincidence!
