a farmer who lived in a small village had a bad pain in the chest. This never seemed to get anybetter . the farmer decided that he would go to see a doctor in the nearest town . but
as he was a miserly person ,he thought he would find out what he would have to pay the doctor . he wae told thet a sick person had to
pay three pounds for the first and one pound for the second visit . the farmer thought about this for a long time, and then he decided to go to the doctor in the town .
as he came into the doctor's room , he said ,“ good morning , doctor . here i am again .'' the doctor was a little surprised . he asked him a few questons ,checked his chest ang then took the pound which the farmer insisted on giving him . then the doctor said with a smlie ," Well ,sir ,there 's nothing new . please go on taking the same medicine i gave you when you came to see me the first time .''
