keys in your pockets. You are also wearing expensive clothes. Maybe you have an
important job. Look at this piece of paper, maybe it can help you remember
something.
– I look at it. There is an address in New York. The doctor gives me the keys.

– I am scared, and I also start to get angry.
– ?: Really? You are thinking about money right now? My head hurts a lot, I am
alone, I am not in my country, and I cannot remember anything! You do
not understand. I am scared.
– Doctor: Yes, I can imagine. I’m really sorry. We want to help you.
– ?: OK, then please help me. I want to go to the address on this piece of paper.
I need to find a friend or a family member.
– Doctor: I’m sorry, you can’t leave until tomorrow. But other than this amnesia
problem, you’re very healthy. So tomorrow morning, I can ask someone to go with
you to this address. It’s not far.
– ?: Thank you very much doctor. I really want to remember everything and find my
family tomorrow.
– Doctor: Yes, we hope so, too. OK, now you need to sleep. Tomorrow is a big day
for you.
