A
One day a lawyer's wife fell ill and he went to get a doctor .The doctor was glad to come to see the woman and to do what he could for her.But before he went into the house he stopped.He knew it was known to all that the lawyer would not pay others when he should.So he said to the man,"But if I do cure your wife I am afraid you won't pay me."
"Sir,"said the lawyer,"here I have $ 500 .Whether you cure my wife or whether you kill her I will give you all this."
The doctor was reassured and went into the house.When he got into the woman's bedroom it soon became clear to him that he could do little.She was seriously ill.Though he gave her some medicine ,she soon died.
He told the lawyer he was very sorry.Then he asked for the money ,because "Did you kill my wife?"said the lawyer.
"Of course I didn't ,"said the doctor.
"Well,did you cure my wife?"asked the man.
"I'm afraid that was not possible,"answered the doctor.
"Well then ,since you neither killed her nor cured her,I have nothing to pay you ."

有一天,一位律师的妻子生病了,因而他就去请医生.这位医生很乐意去看望这位女士并尽他所能去治好她.但是在他进屋之前,他停了下来.因为他知道,人人都知道,这位律师在他该付钱的时候从来不会给.所以他就对那位律师说:“我怕即使我治好了你的妻子,你也不会付我钱.”那位律师听了之后说道:“我这里有500美元,无论你是治好了我的妻子还是杀了她,你都会得到这500美元.”那医生听了之后便放心了,走进了屋子.然而,当他走进屋里时,他意识到,很明显,他能做甚微;因为那女士实在病得太重.虽然他给她服了一些药,但她还是很快就死了.
他告诉那律师说,他很抱歉;然后就要他的工钱.
意外的是,那律师却说:“你有没有杀了我的妻子?”那医生说:“当然没有!”那律师又问:“那么,你治好她了吗?”那医生回答道:“恐怕那是不可能的了.”
那律师听了便说:“那么好了,既然你既没有治好她,也没有杀了她,我不能付给你工钱.”
