    An old man visits a new doctor. He is very young. "I don't fed well, doctor." he said. "Please find out what's wrong with me." "Take off your clothes and lay down on the bed." The old man takes off his clothes and lies down on the bed. The young doctor examines him. However, he can't find anything wrong with the old man. He listens to his heart. He looks into his throat. He examined every part of him. At last, he says, "I'm sorry, but I can't find anything wrong with you." "That's strange." the old man says, "I feel really bad."

    "Go home and come to see me again tomorrow, if you don't feel better." the doctor says, "I'll examine you again." "All right, doctor." the old man says slowly. He stands up and puts on his clothes. Then he walks out of the hospital. A few seconds later, the nurse runs in. "Doctor, doctor!" she cries, "That man you said was healthy has just died outside of the door." The doctor thinks quickly. "Turn the body around, so that people will think he was coming in." he said.

    A brown duck meets a sad cat and asks him, "Please tell me, OK? I can do a lot of things for you." "Oh, no. You can't." The cat shakes his head and goes away.

    The duck keeps up with the cat and asks him again. The cat cries, "I want to buy some flowers for my mother on Mother's Day. But I can't find the flowers." The duck claps his hands happily, "I see. I can help you."

The duck points to the other side of the river and says, "Look there. There are many beautiful flowers. "So the cat climbs up a tree, "Wow, how beautiful they are!"

    "But I can't swim. How can I get there?" The cat is worried. The duck says, "Don't worry. I can swim. You can just sit on my back."

In the river, the duck tells the cat, "If we help each other, we can do many things."
