An old woman suddenly could not see anymore. She went to a doctor. "Please help me," she said. "I'm blind. I want to see." The doctor gave her medicine, and she paid him some money. But the medicine didn't help her. She still couldn't see. She went to another doctor. "Please, please help me," she said. "I don't want to be blind."

This doctor gave her different medicine. The old woman paid him even more money. She took the medicine for a long time, but she still couldn't see. Then a new doctor came on town. The old woman went to see him. "Please, Doctor, please make my eyes better. I'm very unhappy. I want to see.“ The doctor said, "I can make your eyes better, but you have to pay me a lot of money." "First make my eyes better," said the old woman, "and then I will pay you."

Every day the doctor went to the women's house. He took care of her and gave her medicine. But this doctor was also a thief. Every day he took something away from the woman's house. First, he took some boxes of food. The he took some paintings from the walls. Then he even took the tables and chairs. But the medicine he gave her was good medicine. After some time, the old woman could see again. She was not blind any more. "Now," said the doctor. "Give me the money." "No," said the woman. "I won't give you any money."

So the doctor went to a judge and said, "She was blind, and now she is better, but she won't pay me for my medicine." The judge turned to the old woman and said, "Why is this?" The old woman said, "I told the doctor I would pay him when I could see well, but I can't see well. Before I was blind, I could see boxes of food, paintings, tables, and chairs in my house, now I see nothing but the walls. So my eyes are not really better."

The judge smiled and understood. "Doctor," he said, "She is right. Her eyes are not better if she can't see the boxes and tables and chairs. When she can see all those things in her house again, she will pay you." That night the doctor went to the woman's house and put all the things back. ~The End~
