b Francesco said goodbye to his mother and father, and then they left. Bill, one of the other boys in his room, said, pointing to a boy on a bed, “That’s Rubin. He had an operation this morning, and that’s why he’s sleeping a lot today.” “Have you ever had an operation?” he asked Francesco. “I will have my tonsils1 out tomorrow,” said Francesco. Bill had his appendix out.
с “And tomorrow I’ll meet some more new friends,” Francesco thought, and then he fell asleep.
