Mr. Dickson felt very bad. One of his friends recommended him doctor Hill who always gave his patients good advice. So Mr. Dickson made arrangements to see the doctor the next day.

When doctor Hill had examined Mr. Dickson, he told him to go to a village and stay there not less than a month. He also recommended him to go to bed early, drink milk, eat a lot of vegetables and meat and to smoke only one cigar a day. "If you take my advice," said the doctor, "you will soon feel as well as before." Mr. Dickson looked a little surprised when he heard the doctor's advice, but the doctor did not notice it and though Mr. Dickson was about to ask him something he called the next patient.

A month later Mr. Dickson came to doctor Hill again. "How are you?" the doctor asked him. "You look better now. Did my advice help you?"

"Thank you," said Mr. Dickson, "I did all you had recommended me to do. I went to the country, I ate a lot of meat and vegetables but one cigar a day nearly killed me. You see it is impossible to begin smoking at my age."

a cigar сигара; a patient пацієнт; to examine оглядати; advice порада to look surprised виглядати здивованим; nearly майже; to kill вбивати; at one's age в віці.

A good lesson

Once a rich lady phoned the manager of the London Opera House. She said that she wanted to arrange a party and would like to invite one of their well-known singers.

The manager answered that he would make all the necessary arrange­ments about it. He passed the lady's invitation to Mr. Roy, the best singer of the theatre. The man had to accept the invitation though he didn't feel well enough to go to the party after the performance.

However, he took a taxi and a few minutes later came to the lady's house.

The lady was pleased to see him, but she told him to have supper with the servants. Mr. Roy said nothing. He went to the kitchen, enjoyed his supper and after it sang to the servants with whom he had had supper. The lady did not expect him to stay there so long and called him, as she was not pleased with the delay.

"Will you sing something for us?" she asked him.

"I'm sorry, but I've already sung. You see I always sing for those people with whom I have supper."

With these words he left the room. He gave a good lesson to the rich lady.

rich багатий; a party вечірка (для гостей); well-known відомий знаменитий; a servant слуга; to sing (sang, sung) співати
