The Guitar Player
One day Tony was crossing the road when he was hit by a car. He fell and broke his arm.
An ambulance soon arrived and took Tony to a hospital. There a doctor operated on his arm. Then he
put the arm in a cast (石膏). Tony could not move it at all.
"You must keep your arm in a cast for six weeks," the doctor said. "That will give the broken bone a
chance to heal (愈合)."
At the end of six weeks Tony went back to the hospital. The doctor cut the cast with a large saw (锯).
Then he took Tony's arm out of the cast.
"Can you move your arm, Tony?" he asked.
Tony tried to move his arm. At first it was difficult, but soon he was able to move it a little.
"Yes, it's fine," he said. "Thank you very much."
"In a few days it will be as good as new, "the doctor said. Just exercise it a little,"
"Will I be able to play the guitar?" Tony asked.
The doctor smiled. "Of course you will," he said. "You'll have no problem."
"That is good news," Tony said. "Because I couldn't play it at all before."
