Solution

The first patient was seated inside the surgical room of the dentist for a long time. His devoted wife was anxiously waiting out for a long time. Whenever a noisy groan escaped the dentist’s surgical room, she cried. She wanted to rush to the room but was often restrained by the second person. Every adult who watched the lady in distress sympathized with her.

And a banner above that said (Special Olympics)

And a standing ovation and nine beaming faces
Said more than these words ever will.
