The American went to find out how he could find a fine doctor there. A man told him:” That’s very easy. If there is a patient(病人)that a doctor can't cure(治愈),the doctor has to put a balloon(气球) over his clinic(诊所).

The American thought. "The fewer balloons are, the finer the doctor is. "He began to look for the Finest doctor along the street. First, he found a clinic. There were 20 balloons. After a few minutes, he found another one--30 balloons. He thought neither doctor was fine.

At last, he found the third clinic. Only 5 balloons were there. He was very happy and went in. "Wait a minute,” said the doctor. "I'm too busy, you know. This clinic opened only yester-day. "The American was very much surprised(惊奇)and said to himself, "Where can I find the finest doctor?"
