But as he was a miserly person he thought he would find out what he would have to pay this doctor. He was told that a patient had to pay three pounds for the first visit and one pound for the second visit. The farmer thought about this for a long time, and then he decided to go and consult the doctor in the town.
As he came into the doctors room, he said causally,?? Good morning, doctor. Here I am again. The doctor was a little surprised. He asked him a few questions, examined his chest and then took the pound which the farmer insisted on giving him. Then the doctor said with a smile , Well , sir. Theres nothing new. Please continue to take the same medicine I gave you the first time you came to see me.

I told him not to worry his head about the bills any more. He followed my advice, and when he came to see me again two days ago, he told me that he now feels quite all right again. `Yes, I know all about that, answered the patient sadly.`You see , Im that mans tailor.
