Ambulance came and sent Teddy to hospital ER.
The stern Helmet Wang Doc came in and checked her.
Ordered Chubby Cheek Nurse to give Teddy injection and quickly brought her to the Operating Room.
Lights at Operating Room fused out, needed some light, hence pushed the Operating Table near to the windows (makeshift - behind the curtains.
Helmet Wang Doc operated on Teddy with Scissors!
Cut an opening at the neck above the spine.

It was a successful!
Teddy's neck was sewn back and she was back to normal. She rested in the hospital for 3 days.

**The End**
The above really happened when I & my brother were kids.
He was forced into playing the Nurse, though he protested angrily & cried then even when he was just 4 years old. He couldn't win the argument. Afterall, I am the jiejie (biggie sista) okay!
Teddy's neck was really cut with Scissors, which my bro handed to me.
We played such games when we were young, entertaining ourselves when our pa & ma were busy with work & house chores...
I took out the *tumor* which was actually the cottons found inside.
The play place was in our room, with a long table as the Operating Table... Watching too much TVs, the Operating Room had curtain then, and my brother suggested the long table to be placed behind the curtain... We were so creative then.
Thinking back, it was really hilarious.
Many years later, when I shifted out to stay with my baby #2, took Teddy & Brownie with me.
I really love what my Papa & Mama bought me then. Even if they were just teddies & really cheap... they meant alot to me cos I know it was what my parents could afford then. I never made a scene just to get them to buy me toys cos they always reminded me & my brother we weren't rich.
The constant reminders worked for both of us.
We invented our own games, kites made of plastic bags, KFC's family bucket with its paper crockery were used in our cooking games, we took mama's pots and went outside, putting dried leaves and grasses and some rice, cooked our own porridge (of course not to be eaten) with the match sticks... those were much fun days...
I wonder if kids nowadays treasure the toys like I do & are as inventive as us in the past.
I don't think so, they are such spoilt brats these days.
I'm afraid to have mine behaving like them one day.
