Sleeping Pills(药片)

Mr. Smith works in an office. He's very busy and has no time to have a good rest. Every evening, when he comes back from his office, he's always tired and wants to go to bed early. But his wife often has a lot of interesting things to tell him after supper. So it's usually too late when Mr. Smith can go to bed, but he has to get up early next morning.

One day the man didn’t feel well and couldn't go to work. He decided to go to see a doctor. And Mrs. Smith went to the hospital with him. Before her husband said something about his illness, the woman told the doctor all and the doctor understood(明白) why. He wrote out a prescription(处方). And when Mrs. Smith brought the medicine back to the doctor, the doctor said to her, "The bottle of medicine is for your husband and the pills are for you."

"For me?" the woman said in surprise, "I'm fine. I don't need any medicine!"

"I don't think so, madam," said the doctor. "They're sleeping pills. Your husband will soon get well if you take them."
