There were more bags of dirty skin on the front and back of the creature's body. These bags came down to his legs. The right arm was enormous(巨大的),and there were bags of skin on it too. The right hand was like a man's foot.
But the left arm and the left hand were beautiful! The left arm had wonderful skin,and the fingers of the left hand were long and beautiful. It was like a young woman's hand!
"Walk,Merrick!" said the shopkeeper angrily. "Come on,quickly,move!" He hit the creature with his hand.
Slowly,the creature walked across the room. But he could not walk well. His legs were very big and fat,and he had a bad back. He could not walk far without a stick.
"All right,thank you," I said. "Let him sit down. I don't want to see any more." I felt ill,and the smell in the shop was very bad.
"Yes,sir," said the shopkeeper. "Sit down,Merrick."
We went out of the room and closed the door. The shopkeeper smiled at me with his yellow teeth.
"Wonderful,sir,isn't it?" he said. "The best Elephant Man in England! Hundreds of people come to see him,you know,hundreds! I will take him all over the country!"
