2. READ YOUR ASSIGNED PART OF THE LESSON TO THE CLASS:

Many years passed, and there were no deaths in the world. The people who make their living from death began to protest loudly. The doctors claimed no one bothered to come in for examinations of treatments anymore because they did not fear dying; the pharmacists' business suffered, too, because medicines are, like magic potions, brought to prevent or postpone the inevitable; the priests and undertakers were unhappy with the situation also, for obvious reasons. There were also many old folks tired of life who wanted to pass on to the next world to rest from the miseries of this one.
