The Old Woman and the Doctor
An old woman became almost totally blind from a disease of the eyes. After consulting a doctor, she
made an agreement with him in the presence of witnesses that she would pay him a high fee if he cured
her. However, if he failed, he would receive nothing. The doctor prescribed a course of treatment and
visited her on a regular basis to apply ointment to her eyes. With each visit, he took away with him some
article from the house, until at last, when he visited her for the last time and the cure was complete, there
was nothing left. When the old woman saw that the house was empty, she refused to pay him his fee.
After repeated refusals on her part, he sued her before the magistrates for payment of her debt. On being
brought into court, she was ready with her defense. "The claimant," she said, "has stated the facts about
our agreement correctly. I promised to pay him a fee if he cured me, and he, on his part, promised to
charge nothing if he failed. Now, he says I am cured; but I say that I am blinder than ever, and I can prove
what I say. When my eyes were bad, I could see well enough to know that my house contained a certain
amount of furniture and other things. But now, when according to him I am cured, I am entirely unable to see anything there at all."
