Read the passage given below and answer the questions (a), (b) and (c) that follow:
|
(1) My job as the District Veterinarian in Darrowby, Yorkshire has thrown up some interesting moments. I was driving up to Pawson's sheep farm one morning, when I saw this rare sight. (2) I suppose it isn’t unusual to see a man pushing a pram in a town, but on a lonely moorland road this scene merits a second glance. Especially when the pram contains a large gray dog. I drew up beside them and stopped. (3) I looked at the pram, ancient and rusty, and at the big animal sitting upright inside it. He was a cross-bred greyhound, and he gazed back at me with unruffled dignity. I couldn’t help but admire his healthy and happy disposition. (4) “Nice dog,” I said. (5) “Aye, that’s Jake.” The man smiled, introducing himself as Roddy. (6) That same evening, about eight o’clock, the doorbell rang. I answered it and found Roddy on the front doorstep. Behind him, stood the ubiquitous pram. One look at the prone dog warned me that something was terribly wrong. (7) I threw the door wide open. “Bring him in.” (8) I grabbed the animal round the middle and we lifted him onto the table. I watched in disbelief as the huge form lay there. There was no fight for breath, he was unconscious. His pulse was rapid and feeble, yet he didn’t breathe. (9) Understanding the symptoms, I said, “Roddy, he is choking. I’m going to have a look at his throat.” (10) I pushed Jake’s jaws apart, depressed his tongue with a forefinger, and shone my torch into the depths. He was the kind of good-natured dog who offered no resistance as I prodded around. I shall always be thankful that at that very instant the dog coughed, opening up the cartilages of the larynx and giving me a glimpse of the cause of all the trouble. There, beyond the drooping epiglottis, I saw for a fleeting moment a smooth round object no bigger than a pea. (11) “I think it’s a pebble,” I gasped. “Right inside his larynx. I’ll have to get it out.” (12) I seized a pair of scissors and clipped away the hair from the ventral surface of the larynx. I dared not use a general anesthetic, and therefore I infiltrated the area with local before swabbing with antiseptic. (13) “Hold his head steady,” I said hoarsely, and gripped a scalpel. I cut down through skin, fascia, and the thin layers of the muscle until the ventral surface of the larynx was revealed. (14) And there it was. A pebble right enough-gray and glistening and tiny, but big enough to kill. (15) I had to fish it out quickly and cleanly without pushing it into the trachea. I leaned back and rummaged in the tray until I found some broad-bladed forceps, then I poised them over the wound. Great surgeons’ hands, I felt sure, didn’t shake like this. (16) I clenched my teeth, introduced the forceps, and my hand magically steadied as I 40 clamped them over the pebble. (17) I didn’t breathe at all as I bore the shining little object slowly and tenderly through the opening and dropped it with a gentle rat-tat on the table. (18) “Is that it?” asked Roddy, almost in a whisper. (19) “That’s it.” I reached for a needle and suture silk. “All is well now.” (20) The stitching took only a few minutes and by the end of it, Jake was bright-eyed and alert, paws shifting impatiently, ready for anything. (21) He seemed to know his troubles were over. Adapted from: James Herriot’s Favorite Dog Stories |
