Dialogue 20

FEELING SICK

laurance--You look rather pal.Aren't you feeling well?
soony--Not very.I was sick most of the might .I didn't
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 authorities
should investigate the place.
laurance--That's what I think.Two people with similar
problems in such a short time can't just be
coincidence!
