One day an American went to a small town in South America for his holidays. Few people went there 16 it was far away from cities. One day he fell ill and wanted very much to see a doctor.
The American went to 17 how he could find a fine doctor there. A man told him. “That’s very easy. If there’s a patient that a doctor can’t cure (治愈), the doctor has to put a balloon (气球) 18 his clinic (诊所).”
The American thought, “The 19 balloons, the finer the doctor is.” He began to look for the best doctor along the street. First he found a clinic with 20 balloons. After a few minutes he found another one with 30 balloons. He thought neither doctor was fine.
At last he found the third clinic. Only 5 balloons were there. He was very 20 and went in. “Wait a minute,” said the doctor. “I’m too busy, you know. This clinic opened yesterday.” The American was very surprised and said to himself, “Where can I find the best doctor?”
