So, little Miss Wang goes to Dr. Leung, this big-shot dentist, practically royalty in the Hong Kong dental scene. Former head of the Dental Association! Writes articles! You'd think she was in good hands.
But, hold on to your dentures, because things went south faster than a molar during a hockey game. Seems the braces weren't just tightening, they were downgrading! Wang's chompers ended up looking like a demolition site.
Suddenly, our little scholar couldn't crack a smile without feeling like she'd just swallowed a lemon. The trophies gathered dust. The recitations? Forget about it! It's hard to declaim Shakespeare when your teeth are staging a rebellion.
Now, here's the kicker: This poor kid, so traumatized by her toothy predicament, actually had to write her own lawsuit! Apparently, the legal eagles were busy with more important things, like fighting over who gets to sue whom for tripping on the red carpet. So, she's there, with her messed-up teeth, pouring out her heart in legalese, demanding justice!
And the food restrictions! No coffee, no curry, no chocolate! Imagine that! She can't even bite into an apple, for crying out loud! What's a kid supposed to do? (Besides hire a lawyer, obviously.)
Dr. Leung, meanwhile, remains mysteriously silent. Probably too busy polishing his own perfect teeth, or maybe drafting an article titled "The Perils of Overachieving Smiles."
The moral of the story? Be careful what you wish for, because you might just end up with a mouthful of regrets. And if you do, make sure you have a good lawyer... or at least a really, really good dictionary.
And, of course, a sense of humor. Because if you can't laugh at the absurdity of it all, well, you might as well just stick to pureed apples.
