AT thE dentist the drill made a lot of noise as two of Charlie's teeth were worked on. One was merely a minor filling, but the one with the gold crown had to be extracted. When the gold crown popped off it fell on the floor. The dentist's assistant was about to reach down and pick it up when a mouse shot out from under a cupboard, grabbed the gold and disappeared again. The assistant shrieked and jumped back, narrowly avoiding colliding with the dentist. "Theft, theft", she shouted, "How are we going to get that back?" The dentist was embarrassed and shocked that his sterile surgery should have mice in it. Charlie said "Wha haa hou aa". The dentist had to cancel the rest of his appointments that day and call in Chris the handyman to banish the mice, retrieve the gold crown and reinstate his surgery room. "Well, that's a debut for me: mouse catcher, gold-digger and surgery rescuer in one day", said Chris. The only good thing that day was that Charlie had no bill to pay!
