Nicholas Adams was very quiet while Dr. Smith looked at his throat, took his temperature and listened to his heart. After a few minutes, Dr. Smith asked Nicholas's mother some questions.

　　“When did Nicholas first feel ill?”

　　“This morning when he got up.”

　　“What did he have for breakfast?”

　　“He had two eggs, two pieces of bread and a bottle of milk.”

　　“I see.” Then Dr. Smith turned to Nicholas,“How do you feel now, my boy?”

　　“Terrible,” said Nicholas,“I think I'm going to die.”

　　“You won't die. In fact, you'll be quite all right this afternoon.”

　　“Oh, Doctor! Do you really think so?” Nicholas's mother asked.

　　“Yes, Mrs. Adams, his illness is common in boys at the moment. It comes and goes quickly.”

　　“But I don't understand.”Said Mrs. Adams.

　　“Well, today,”said the doctor,“there is a World Cup Football Match on TV. If Nicholas feels well enough to watch it this afternoon, I think he'll be quite better by the time the match is over. It's the only cure for this illness. Now, I must go over the street to see Michael Horton. He seems to have the same thing as Nicholas.”

A doctor was once teaching a class of medical students at a famous hospital in Edinburge. An injured man was brought in, and the doctor turned to one of his students and asked him, “What’s wrong with this man ?”
“I don’t know, sir,” the student answered. “Shall I examine him and find out?”
“There’s no need to examine him,” said the doctor. “You should know without asking questions. He has hurt his right knee. Didn’t you notice the way he walked? He hurt it by burning it in the fire.
