Tapescript
There was a businessman who always tried
to pay as little as possible for what he needed.
One day he fell ill. He decided to go to a doctor
and asked a friend to recommend one.
‘Dr Smith is a good one,’ the friend told
him.
‘Is he expensive?’ the businessman asked.
‘Yes and no. He charges five hundred dollars
for the first visit, but only twenty-five dollars
for each visit after that.’
‘That seems reasonable,’ the businessman said,
and went to visit Dr Smith.
As he walked into the consulting-room, he
said, ‘Well, here I am AGAIN,’ and put twenty-five
dollars on the table.
The doctor looked at him carefully for a moment,
then smiled and put the money into the drawer
of his desk. ‘Thank you,’ he said. ‘And what
can I do for you today?’
‘Examine me, of course,’ the businessman said,
‘and tell me what’s wrong with me.’
‘Oh, there’s no need for me to examine you
AGAIN,’ the doctor said. ‘Just continue taking
the medicine I prescribed for you when you came
to me last time.’
