①We usually go to see a doctor when we are ill. Doctors may give us some medicine, and the medicine often makes us feel better.
②But sometimes the doctor's medicine doesn't work. This happened to one man, Thomas Smith. He was ill in hospital, but he wasn't getting well. Then he found a new "doctor" inside himself. He saw funny films. He read funny books. And something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain after half a year. He could have a good night's rest. His own happy feeling helped him get well. He wrote his story in his book. He said laughing was very useful and it was the best "medicine".
③Another man, Simon Beck, was also ill, and he had a serious pain in his back. The doctor couldn't stop it, so the man began to "picture" his pain. In his head, he drew a picture of a dog. He imagined it to be a real dog. And it was hurting him. Then the man talked softly to the dog. He put his hand on the dog's head and made friends with it. One year later, his pain went away!
④These stories may surprise you, but more and more people are getting well in this way. So call on the "doctor" inside your mind. and keep happy and well!
