Whose teeth?

0My friend Alice decided to be a nurse when she was four years old. She always played “doctors and nurses” with other children. When she left school last year, she still wanted to be a nurse. One day she saw an advertisement in the newspaper. DO YOU WANT TO HELP PEOPLE? STUDY NURSING. Fill the form with your name and address and send it to us for more information. Alice finished the form and posted it. Later in September she started her study in a school in Richmond. She went to classes every day and studied late at night. Sometimes she didn’t go to bed until twelve o’clock. Then an important day came: her first day in a ward. From then on, Alice had to do all kinds of work in the ward. She helped patients. She also made the beds and kept the ward tidy. One day, Alice was told to clean all the patients’ false teeth. She brought all the teeth together. Instead of cleaning the teeth by one, she put them all into one big plate. “It’ll be quicker this way,” she said to herself. But when Alice stood in the middle of the ward with the plate of cleaned teeth, she had no idea whom each tooth belonged to. 0-
