  1. There was once a doctor who had a son, that was learning to be a doctor. The son was home on holidays, when his father was called to a sick woman. The son went with his father to the patient. When his father went into the room. He looked under the bed, and saw orange skins there. The father said she ate too many oranges. The son was called on for the next visit, and he saw horse shoes under the bed, and said that if she didn't stop eating horses she would die.
