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.”

The next day the doctor came into the shop and bought some books. When John was getting them ready, he told the doctor about his bad foot . The doctor looked at it. “Yes,” said the doctor, “you must put that foot in hot water every night.” “Thank you,” said the bookseller, “and now sir, here are your books.” “How much?” said the doctor. “Two pounds,” answered John. “Good,” said the doctor. “I shall not have to pay you anything.” “Why?” asked John in surprise. “I told you about your foot . I want two pounds for that . Good-bye.”
