There lived a lawyer in a town.The lawyer was very clever but stingy(吝啬).People all knew that the lawyer never paid others when he asked them to do something for him.
One day the lawyer’s wife was badly ill.The lawyer asked a doctor for help.The doctor was ready to come to see the sick woman and tried his best to cure (医治)her.But the doctor stopped before he went into the lawyer’s house,for the doctor knew that very often the lawyer did not pay others.The doctor said to the lawyer,“But if I cure your wife,I’m afraid you will not pay me.”
    “Sir,” answered the lawyer,“here (A) I have a lot of money.Whether you cure or kill my wife,I will give you some money.”
The doctor was glad to hear that and went into the house.The woman was dying.The doctor tried everything possible to save her,but still she died in the end.He told the lawyer that he was sorry,and then asked for pay.“(B) Did you kill my wife?” asked the lawyer.“Of course I didn’t,” said the doctor.“Well,did you cure my wife?” the lawyer asked again.“You know that was impossible,” answered the doctor.
“Well,then,since you didn’t kill or cure her,I have nothing to pay 翻译
