A farmer who lived in a small village had a bad pain in the chest.This never seemed to get any better.The farmer decided that he would go to see a doctor in the nearest town.But as he was a miserlly person,he thought he would find out what he would have to pay the doctor.he was told that a sick person had to pay three pounds for the first visit and one pound for the second visit.The farmer thought about this for long time,and then he decided to go to the doctor in the town.
As hr 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 questions,checked 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 go on taking the same medicine I gave you the first time you came to see me."
