DOCTORS ORDERS

DEWEY DRAGGED HIMSELF

INTO HIS DOCTOR'S OFFICE

ONE DAY LOOKING VERY EXHAUSTED.

"DOCTOR," HE SAID,

"THERE ARE DOGS ALL

OVER MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

THEY BARK ALL DAY AND

ALL NIGHT AND I CAN'T

GET A WINK OF SLEEP!" 

"I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU, DEWEY,"

THE DOCTOR SAID,

RUMMAGING THROUGH A DRAWER FULL

OF SAMPLE MEDICATIONS.

"HERE ARE SOME NEW SLEEPING PILLS

THAT WERE JUST APPROVED.

THEY WORK LIKE A DREAM.

JUST A FEW OF THESE AND

YOUR TROUBLES WILL BE OVER." 

"GREAT," SAID DEWEY,

"I'LL TRY ANYTHING.

LET'S GIVE IT A SHOT." 

THE DOCTOR GAVE HIM THE PILLS.

DEWEY THANKED HIM AND LEFT. 

TWO WEEKS LATER,

DEWEY CAME BACK TO THE

DOCTOR'S OFFICE LOOKING

WORSE THAN EVER.

"DOC, YOUR PLAN IS NO GOOD.

I'M MORE TIRED THAN EVER!"

DEWEY EXCLAIMED. 

"I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW

THAT COULD BE,"

SAID THE DOCTOR,

SHAKING HIS HEAD.

"THOSE ARE THE STRONGEST

PILLS ON THE MARKET!"

"THAT MAY BE TRUE,"

ANSWERED DEWEY WEARILY,

"BUT I'M STILL UP ALL NIGHT

CHASING THOSE DOGS AND

WHEN I FINALLY CATCH ONE,

IT'S REALLY HARD GETTING

HIM TO SWALLOW THE PILL!"
