[01:09.10]A farmer who lived in a small village ;

[01:12.42]suffered from a severe pain in the chest. ;

[01:14.92]This never seemed to get any better. ;

[01:17.28]The farmer eventually decided ;

[01:19.88]that he would consult a doctor in the nearest town. ;

[01:22.48]But as he was a miserly person ;

[01:24.65]he thought he would find out what he would have to pay this doctor. ;

[01:27.64]He was told that a patient had to pay three pounds for the first visit ;

[01:32.11]and one pound for the second visit. ;

[01:34.22]The farmer thought about this for a long time, ;

[01:37.00]and then he decided to go and consult the doctor in the town. ;

[01:41.17]As he came into the doctor's consulting room, ;

[01:44.00]he said causally, "Good morning doctor.Here I am again." ;

[01:48.08]The doctor was a little surprised. ;

[01:50.38]He asked him a few questions,examined his chest ;

[01:53.87]and then took the pound which the farmer insisted on giving him. ;

[01:57.36]Then the doctor said with a smile,"Well, sir.There's nothing new. ;

[02:02.27]Please continue to take ;

[02:03.55]the same medicine I gave you the first time you came to see me." ;

[02:07.21] Text B ;

[02:10.89]A man went to see his doctor one day ;

[02:13.84]because he was suffering from pains in his stomach. ;

[02:16.54]After the doctor had examined him carefully,he said to him, ;

[02:20.32]"Well,there's nothing really wrong with you,I'm glad to say. ;

[02:24.05]Your only trouble is that you worry too much. ;

[02:27.00]Do you know,I had a man with the same trouble as you in here a few weeks ago ; [02:31.62]and I gave him the same advice as I'm going to give you. ;

[02:34.91]He was worried because he couldn't pay his tailor's bills. ;

[02:38.10]I told him not to worry his head about the bills any more. ;

[02:41.34]He followed my advice,and when he came to see me again two days ago, ; [02:45.22]he told me that he now feels quite all right again." ;

[02:48.41]"Yes,I know all about that,"answered the patient sadly. ;

[02:52.74]"You see,I'm that man's tailor." ;

[02:55.49] Additional Information ;

[02:58.24]Doctor:Good mooring. How are you? Patient:I'm very worried,doctor. ; [03:02.80]Doctor:Oh? what are you worried about? ;

[03:07.37]Doctor:I'm sorry to hear that. Why do you think so? ;

[03:09.97]Patient:Because I feel tired all the time. ;

[03:12.58]even when I wake up in the morning. ;

[03:14.49]I find it very difficult to do any work. ;
