You haven't a kick in you but I think I know a cure for you," 1. Identify the speaker and the listener.

Answer 1

The speaker is doctor while the listener is Tricki

Explanation:

The question is from the lesson "a triumph of surgery"

The speaker here is the doctor who was surprised to see such a bloated dog. When he saw the dog, he said, "You haven't a kick in you but I think I know a cure for you".

By this he meant that the dog was no longer active and he had an idea to recover his health.

The dog's name was Tricki who was over fed by the owner.

Answer:

This line means that - although, Tricki had barely any vigour or life left in him, Mr. Herriot still believed that he knew a cure for him. He was determined to improve Tricki's condition.
