　　One day, a lawyer's wife fell ill and he went to get a doctor. The doctor was glad to come to see the woman and to do what he could for her. But before he went into the house he stopped. He knew it was known to all that the lawyer would not pay others when he should. So he said to the man, “But if I do cure your wife, I'm afraid you won't pay me.”

　　“Sir”, said the lawyer, “here I have five hundred dollars, whether you cure my wife or whether you kill her I will give you all this.”

　　The doctor was reassured and went into the house. When he got into the woman's bedroom, it soon became clear to him that he could do little. She was seriously ill. Though he gave her some medicine, she soon died.

　　He told the lawyer he was very sorry. Then he asked for the money, because the lawyer had promised to give it to him.

　　“Did you kill my wife?” asked the man.

　　“Of course I didn't”, said the doctor.
