When you are ill, you should go to see a doctor. After the
doctor looks you over, he will write you a note to take to the chemist for some
medicine. Chemists are usually good at reading doctors' notes. But sometimes
doctors write too badly and even the chemist can not read them.
One day a woman wrote to a doctor to invite him to have dinner
with her family in the restaurant. The doctor wrote an answer, but he wrote too
badly and the woman could not read it. "What shall I do?" she asked
her husband, "I don't know whether he is going to come or not. I don't
want to call and say that I don't understand him."
Her husband thought for a few minutes and then he had an idea.
"Take it to the chemist," he said, "He will be able to read it
for us."
"Thank you," the woman said, "That's a good
idea." She went to the chemist's shop and gave the doctor's note to him.
The chemist looked at it for a long time.
"Could you wait a moment, Miss?" he said. Then he went
to the back of the shop. After a few minutes he came back, carrying a large
bottle. He gave the bottle to the woman.
"Take one spoonful(一匙) every day." He
told the woman.
