a. Write a readable story with the help of the following outlines:

An old lady becomes blind – calls in a doctor – agrees to pay large fee if cured, but nothing if not – doctor calls daily – puts eyes on lady‟s furniture – delays the cure – everyday takes away

furniture – at last cures her – demands his fees – lady refuses to pay – saying cure not complete – doctor brings a court case – judge asks why she will not pay – she says sight not

properly restored – she cannot see all her furniture – judge gives verdict in her favour – moral.

An old lady and a clever doctor

How could I get my eyes restored? Will I be able to find an honest doctor for treatment? These were the questions in the mind of an old lady who became blind all of a sudden. She always thought about her poor eyesight sitting on her beautiful sofas.

The old woman feared of hiring a doctor as the town was full of fake doctors. Yet she decided to call in a doctor on one condition.

“Condition!” the doctor, whom she called in, said doubtfully, “What‟s it!” The

old lady said, “I have a condition; I‟ll pay the large sum if cured, but nothing if not!”

The doctor agreed and came to treat her daily. The doctor was lured at the items of furniture in the lady‟s room. He began to take away one by one and so he delayed the cure. After a few weeks, she was cured and the doctor demanded his charge but the old lady refused to pay saying that her eye sight had not been properly restored yet.

The doctor brought the case in court. The judge asked the old lady, “Why aren‟t you paying the doctor‟s fees?” She replied, “My Lord! My eyesight has not been restored properly because I can‟t see any valuable furniture of my room.” The judge knew the matter and gave the verdict in her favour.

Moral: You will be deceived if you try to deceive others.
