Answer 2

Answer: The speaker thought that he might sound silly for thinking that as a nineyear old he could make a number of grown-ups believe that he had

appendicitis when he did not and thus get sent home from school. He

argued that he was, in fact, not silly, by explaining that not long before,

one of his sisters had actually had appendicitis, and he had observed

closely how she behaved- how she hurt on the lower right side of her

tummy, kept being sick and ran a temperature. So he knew exactly how

to pretend to be ill so that he would be believed.
