A young American doctor was really hard - working in hospital in the daytime. One day, he worked off the night shift (下班). He felt tired because of the work the whole day. He was asleep at home. All of a sudden he heard his door bell began to ring. It was late at night. But what could the doctor do? He had to put on his coat. He opened the door. It was a man!

"How do you do?" said the man," Can you come at once to a place out of town? It's a long distance to reach, but you have a car and “I can show you the way." "Certainly?" said the doctor. "I can come at once."

"But I must see the patient, the doctor said, “How can I go back without seeing the patient?"
