    One time a man's wife was very sick.
    He went for the doctor and told him to come quick to his wife, and he would give him two pounds, kill, or cure.
    The doctor went to his wife, but she died,
    The doctor did not get the money at that time. Some time afterwards he called for his money.
    "The man asked him-" Did you kill my wife? "No" said the doctor.
    -Did you cure her,? "No" said the doctor
    I promised to give you two pounds, kill, or cure, said the man, and you neither killed her, or cured, and therefore I owe you nothing, so the doctor had to go away with-out the money.
