“OK. You can put your tongue back now,” the doctor said. “It's clear what's wrong with you. You need more exercise. ”

   “But, doctor,” the man said,” I don't think…”

    “Don't tell me what you think,” the doctor said. “I am the doctor,　not you. I know what you need. I see　hundreds of people like you. None of them get any exercise. They sit in offices all day and in front of the TV　in the evening. What you need is to walk quickly for at least 20 minutes a day. ”

   “Doctor, you don't understand,”　the patient said. “I…”

   “I don't want to hear any excuses,”　the doctor said. “You must find time for exercise. If you　don't,　you will get fat and have health problems when you are older. ”

“But I walk every day,”　the patient said.

    “Ｏh,　yes,　and I know what kind of walking that is. You walk a few feet to the train station　from your house,　a few more feet from the station to your office,　and a few more feet from your　office to a restaurant for lunch and back. That is not real walking. I'm talking about a walk in the　park for twenty minutes every day. ”

“Ｗill you listen to me, doctor!” the patient shouted, getting angry with his doctor who thought he knew everything. “I'm a mailman,” the patient went on, “and I walk for seven hours every day! “For a moment the doctor was silent, then he said quietly , “Put your tongue out again, will you?”
