    15.The Bad Check

    空頭支票

    One day a middle-aged woman telephoned her doctor.

    “Doctor，”she said，“I'm having a lot of trouble with my shoulder. It hurts all the time and I can't sleep at night.”

    “Come in this afternoon.”said the doctor，“and I'll have a look at it.”

    That afternoon the woman went to the doctor's office. He gave her a very thorough examination， asked a lot of questions， and listened carefully to her answers.

    “Well， my dear，”he said，“It looks like you have arthritis.”

    “Arthritis？”she said.“Oh， no！ What am I going to do？”

    “Don't worry，”he answered，“I'll give you a prescription and the pain will go away.”Then the doctor took out his pen， wrote a prescription， and handed her his bill for fifty dollars. The woman opened her pocketbook， wrote out a fifty-dollar check， said goodbye， and left.

    The doctor mailed the check to his bank， but a week later he was surprised to find that the check was returned to him， marked“Insufficient Funds”。Hetelephoned the woman immediately.

    “I'm very sorry to have to tell you this.”he began，“but your check came back this week.”

    “Oh， really？”said the woman，“That's quite a coincidence.”

    “What do you mean？”asked the doctor.

    “Well，”said the woman，“so did my arthritis.”
