Dr. Black’s Patient
Oh! isn’t this comical? Here is a long, thin fellow, who is so annoyed because he is so much taller than his friends, that he goes to Dr. Black to see if he can give him anything to fill up his very long legs, and make him grow shorter. “Oh yes,” says Dr. Black, putting his hands behind his back; and he calls in his assistant to ask what he thinks upon the subject His opinion is, that the fellow is ridiculously too long; and he at once pulls out a pair of scissors, and begins to snip off a piece of his legs! Just look at the tall fellow’s face; see how he is going to roar out!
