It was a Saturday afternoon. Mr. Green was reading a newspaper when he heard his wife crying in the next room. He hurried to the room and asked, "What happened to you, my dear?"

    "Oh, dear!" the woman called out. "My head hurts! Send for a doctor! Hurry up!"

    Their two children were both out at the moment and something was wrong with the telephone. Mr. Green had to go to a hospital himself. Bad luck! That day all the hospitals in the town were closed. Mr. Green didn't know where to go. Just then a friend of his saw him and asked, "What's the matter?"

    Mr. Green told his friend his trouble. The man said, "Why not go to Mr. Black? Maybe he can help you."

     Mr. Green remembered his friend, Mr. Black, was a good doctor and he decided to go to him for help. When he got there, Mr. and Mrs Black were having their evening meal. The doctor asked Mr. Green to drink with him. He was happy and sat at table. After that they began to chat. It was getting dark. Mrs Black turned on the lights and asked, "How is Mrs Green?"
