Paragraph 1:
Dressed in his doctor’s gown, he went in to see her. He saw her lie on the bed and recognized her at once. Her lovely face looked pale. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case. Luckily, after a long struggle the battle was won. Doctor Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side.
Paragraph2:
The bill was sent to her room. Hesitantly she took it. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally, she opened the bill, on the other side of which a note caught her attention. She read these words, “Paid in full with a glass of milk.” signed Dr. Howard Kelly. Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently, “Thank you, God!”

My friend Mike is an artist. He paints pictures with lots of colors. But his car is black! Mrs. Bates has a very, very old car. It often has engine trouble. Is she poor No, she has four restaurants and two million dollars in the bank. My uncle, Joe, has a very small car. Every Sunday, he drives to the country with his wife, his three children, his mother and their dogs.
Now, you have known about my friends and their cars. Do you agree with my cousin Does your car say anything about you
