Little Tom had a bad toothache, so his father, Mr. Wood, took him to see a dentist. Having been examined, one of Tom＇s teeth was pulled out. After that, the dentist insisted Mr. Wood pay him $5 for that. Mr. Wood felt so surprised that he asked why the dentist charged so much, which was only $1 as usual.
