A farmer who lived in a small village suffered from a severe pain in the chest. This never seeved to get any better, The farmer eventually decided that he would consult a doctor in the nearest tiwb, But as he was a miserly person he thought he woule find out what he would have to pay this doctor. He was told that a patient had to pay three pounds tor the first visit and one pound for the second visit. The farmer thought about this for a long time, and then he decided to go and consult the doctor in the town.
As he came into the doctor's consulting room.he said causally."Good morning,doctor.Here I am again.'The doctor was a little surprised. He asked him a few questions, examined his chest and then took the pound which the farmer insisted on giving him. Then the doctor said with a smile,"Well,sir.There's nothing new.Please continue to take the same medicine I gave you the first time you came to see me." |
