People who stutter
Most people who stutter are very embarrassed about it. In many areas special classes are set up to help them. Even if they do not improve, it is comforting to meet other people to share their problem with.\n In one town, a young speech therapist decided to try his first experiment. He would send his patients to different shops to ask for something. He practised certain sentences with them first to give them confidence. Then he sent them all off to ask for something in a shop during the following week. So that they wouldn't have to buy anything, he advised them to ask for something that wasn't normally sold in the shop. As an example, he suggested that someone should go to the local bookshop to ask for a ping-pong ball.
One of them followed his suggestion and went to the bookshop. "C-c-could I have a p-p-ping-pong ball, please?" he asked the owner. "I'm afraid we don't stock ping-pong balls. Why don't you go to the sports shop down the road to get one?" A few minutes later, another man came in to ask for the same thing. The owner looked puzzled and repeated his suggestion. Several days later, after three more visits, the bookseller decided to go to the sports shop himself to get some ping-pong balls. When the last member of the group went in and asked for the same thing, the bookseller handed him one. The man opened his mouth to try to say that he didn't really want one, but he was so surprised that he could not speak. He just paid the money and left.
On his way out, he met his speech therapist and stopped to try to explain what had happened. The therapist went into the bookshop to find out why they stocked ping-pong balls there. "Well, we don't normally, sir. But we don't like disappointing our customers. There have been so many people asking for them, that I went to the sports shop to get some. But what I don't understand is why everyone who plays ping-pong stutters."
