A Very Long Root

An Irishman had a toothache, so he went to the dentist’s to have his tooth pulled out. But as soon as he was in the armchair, he thought the dentist was going to hurt him very much and he would not open his mouth.

Seeing this, the dentist pricked his leg with a pin, and when the man opened his mouth to cry out, he pulled out his tooth.

“I didn’t hurt you as much as you thought, did I?” asked the dentist.

“No, you didn’t,” answered the Irishman putting his hand on the place where he had been pricked, “but I didn’t think that the root of my tooth went down as far as that.”
