Too Clever

530 views. 2011-4-12 11:06

   A farmer who lived in a small village suffered from a severe pain in the chest.This never seemed to get any better.The farmer eventually decided that he would consult 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 this doctor.He was told that a patient had to pay three pounds for 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 casually."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."

Haha. The doctor outsmarted the patient, but I feel the doctor should sympathetic to this patient if he really don't have much money.
