he was always ready to go and help a sick person. Everyone in the town liked him and people always went to him
when there was anything wrong with them.

The good old doctor noticed that people did not come to him any more but he did not understand why. So he
asked, "Why does no one come to me now?"
No one wanted to tell him the real reason because they did not want to make the good old man unhappy, so
