A BRAND NEW NOSE

An actor explains: "I    after my father in appearance.

His nose is big but mine was huge, and it got me  .

I couldn't    a normal life."

 


"At school, the other children    jokes about my nose, and I    stand

seeing myself in television plays. I thought I looked like a monster !!"

"The nose caused health problems as well: because of its shape, I couldn't breathe

, and I had a permanent    throat."

"The doctor    I should have an operation. I was nervous but my wife

  me. The operation went well, but my whole face    

afterwards and I had two terrible black eyes. I had to keep the bandage on my nose for

a while and the    didn't disappear for ages. It was months before I dared

return to work."

 


"But I'm not    in the result. My breathing problems have 

  and I no longer feel self-conscious or    about my

I chose a purely practical nose, but now I would rather have a more beautiful one.

Well, I suppose that sounds vain!"
