“Stop that noise,” he said to her. He turned over and tried to go to __33___ again. But his wife still cried out, “Oh, help! Help! I’m sure I am ___34___.”

Peter got out of bed and started ___35___, but he could not find his clothes.

“No, I can’t, go, go, go!” his wife shouted, “___41__ you will find me dead in the morning!”

So Peter went out into the ___42___street. He had only gone a few steps, when he heard his wife ___43___ him again. “I’m __44___again, and I shall not want the doctor.” She said softly.

Hearing this, he started running as ___45___ as he could towards the doctor’s house. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door with his stick loudly enough to wake ___46___ around.

“Oh, Doctor,” Peter called loudly to the doctor, “I have very ___47___ news for you. My wife ___48___ ill with a terrible stomachache. I was on the way to bring you to her.
