Question

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Dick was trying to remember an experience to tell in this narrative when suddenly Dick remembered this. It’s a funny and true experience. Now when Dick thinks of it, he laughs a lot, but when it happened, he was really frightened.

Once when Dick was a child, maybe eight years old, he had a frightening experience. He was in his house with all his family. He cannot remember when it happened very well, but it was possibly at Christmas. They were going to have a big supper and he was very happy because he liked to eat a lot. Besides, he hadn’t eaten for a long time. (A long time for him may be one or two hours.) Therefore, he was starving. He became very angry, because he saw his mother and his father talking for a long time. This made him angry, because he didn’t want to wait any longer. Moreover, it was time for having supper. Weren’t they starving?

“Mother,what happened with the food?” he asked. Then she looked at him seriously and said, “You need more patience, my honey.”

“Yes,” he replied, “I see. I need to be patient. Nevertheless, I can’t be patient today, because I am starving.”

Time passed, and finally dinner was on the table. The first dish was “puchero”. Puchero is one of his favorite dishes; this dish has chicken, rice, vegetables, and pork. Also, it’s a very hot dish, so usually they need to wait at least half an hour before they start to eat. They can enjoy its taste better when it’s not so hot. Nevertheless, when he saw it on the table, he got a spoon and started to eat quickly. In a moment, his face was red, and there was a strange feeling on his tongue. He had burned it. Immediately, he shouted in pain and his mother asked him, “What is the matter?” “Mother, help me! I think my tongue is going to fall off!” he screamed hard.

Answer

Paragraph 1:

“Don’t worry, my child. Your father is going to take you to the hospital,” said his mother. Dick look at his mother’s face and he could tell she was concerned. Then his father and he went to the hospital. When they arrived there, he tried to tell the doctor his problem, but he could not do it because he was very nervous. His father did it for him. He doesn’t remember his father’s words exactly, but he said something like, “Doctor, I think my son burned his tongue, because he ate a pretty hot dish.”

Paragraph 2:

“Open your mouth,” the doctor said after he’d heard his father’s words. He did it slowly. He looked at his tongue for a long time. “Do not worry, little guy. Your tongue is very hot, but it will not fall off,” the doctor finally said. When the doctor said that, his father started laughing happily. Soon the doctor was also laughing. He was embarrassed. However, he was happy because his tongue would not fall off. He has learned one important thing since that day. Patience is a great virtue.
