A middle-aged man was feeling very   1   . Everything had been going wrong for him. He had had   2   with his family and his wife had left him to go off with a lion yammer. So after he had been feeling   3   for over a month, he decided to go to the doctor. He had to wait for   4    seemed like ages in the doctor’s surgery. The man next to him was looking at his watch nervously, a woman was coughing   5   and a baby was screaming.   6   , after he had been waiting for about half an hour, he was called in.

The doctor was writing a note at her desk when he came in. “Sorry, I’m just finishing something.   7   we’ve been busy this morning.”

She then turned to the man. “So, what’s the problem?” she asked. “Well, I’ve been having a bit of a crisis. You know, lots of problems,” replied the man. “And I’ve been doing a lot of work.”

“Mum, you’re looking very pale.” The doctor started to   8   him. “Well,   9   is working OK,” she announced afterwards. “You have   10    high blood pressure and you’re breathing quite heavily, but   11   , everything’s fine.”

“So what can I do?” asked the man. “I’m going on a trip soon. I’m working in the States for three months. This time next week, I’ll be arriving in New York.”

The doctor thought   12   . “I think what you need is a good   13   . That would do you a lot of good. A circus is performing in town. Why don’t you go to see   14   ? I hear there’s an   15    clown who’ll really make you laugh. His name’s Crock.”

“I’m Grock,” replied the man sadly.
