Doctor Goldsmith (完）

" Call at my room this evning, " said the Goldsmith to the woman,
" and I will give you some medecine for your husband. "

In the evning the woman called.

Goldsmith　gave her a little paper box that was very heavy.

" Here is the medecine, " he said.
" Use it faithfully, and I think it will do your husband a great deal of good.
 But don't open the box until you reach home. "

" What are the directions for taking it ? " asked the woman.

" You will find them inside of the box, " he answered.

When the woman reached her home, she sat down by her husband's side, and they opened the box.

What do you think they found in it ?

It was full of pieces of money.

And on the top were directions;ー
"TO BE TAKEN AS OFTEN AS NECESSITY REQUIRES. "

Goldsmith had given them all the ready money that he had.
