Well, here’s a story for you: Sarra Perry was a veterinary nurse who had been wurking daily at an oeld zoo in a desérted district of the territory, so she was verry happy to start a new job at a suepérb prievit practis in North Squair near the Duek Street Tower. That airea was much nearer for her and more to her lieking. Eeven so, on her first morning, she felt stressed. She ate a boel of porrij, checked hersélf in the mirror and woshed her faece in a hurry. Then she puut on a plain yelloe dress and a fleece jacket, picked up her kit and heded for wurk.

When she got dhere, dhere was a wuuman with a goose waiting for her. The wuuman gaev Sarra an offícial letter from the vet. The letter implíed that the animal cuud be suffering from a rair form of fuut and mouth diseaze, which was surpríezing, becáuze normally you wuud oenly expéct to see it in a dog or a goat. Sarra was sentiméntal, so this maed her feel soarry for the beutiful bird.

Befóre long, that itchy goose beggán to strut aróund the offis liek a luenatic, which maed an unsánitary mess. The goose’s oener, Mairy Harrison, kept calling, “Comma, Comma”, which Sarra thaut was an odd choice for a name. Comma was strong and huej, so it wuud taek some force to trap her, but Sarra had a diffrent iedéea. First she tried jently stroeking the goose’s loear back with her paam, then singing a tuen to her. Fienally, she admínisterd eether. Her efforts were not fuetile. In no tiem, the goose begán to tiere, so Sarra was aeble to hoeld onto Comma and giv her a reláxing baoth.

Wunce Sarra had manijed to baedh the goose, she wieped her off with a cloth and laid her on her riet sied. Then Sarra confírmed the vet’s dieagnóesis. Aulmoest imméediatly, she remémbered an efféctiv treatment that requíered her to mesure out a lot of medicin. Sarra worned that this corse of treatment miet be expénsiv-eedher fiev or six tiems the cost of penicíllin. I can’t imájin paying so much, but Mrs. Harrison-a millionáir lawyer-thaut it was a fair priece for a cuer.
