(B)

A young American doctor was sleeping when his doorbell rang. It was already midnight, but what could the doctor do? He had to get up, put on his coat and go downstairs.

When he opened the door, he saw a man standing with a cap in his hand. “How do you do, doctor?” said the man. “Can you come to a place out of town at once? It’s quite far, but you have a car, don’t you? I can show you the way.”

“Certainly,” said the doctor. “I’m quite ready. I can come at once.” In a few minutes the car was waiting at the front door. The man got on the doctor’s car. And they drove off.

They drove on for a long time, and then the man said, “Here we are. This is my home. Now I can pay you and you can go back to town.”

“But I must see the patient,” the doctor said. “How can I go back without seeing the patient? Where is the patient?”

“There is no patient,” answered the man. “Nobody is ill. I live here, you see, and one must get home from a town, mustn’t he? There is no taxi at this time of the night. But a doctor often makes night calls. So excuse me. Here is your money. Thank you, doctor. Good night!”
