Question

John was a bookseller. He didn’t like paying for anything. One day he let a big box of books fall on his foot. “Go to the doctor,” said his wife. “No,” he said, “I’ll wait until the doctor comes into the shop next time. Then I’ll ask about my foot. If I go to see him, I’ll have to pay him.”
