Now and then we all get ill. Then we usually go to see a doctor. Doctors know a lot about what makes
us ill. They may give us something to take. The medicine often makes us well again.
But sometimes the doctor's medicine doesn't work. A sick person does not get well. The pain will not
go away. This happened to one man. He was in hospital, but he was not getting well. Then he found a new
"doctor" inside himself. This "doctor" was his own sense of humor. He saw funny films. He read funny
books. And something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and
rest. His own happy feeling helped him to feel well again. He said laughing was his best "medicine". His
doctor thought so, too.
Another man was ill, and he had a terrible pain in his back. The doctors could not stop it from hurting.
So the man began to "Picture" his pain. In his head he "drew" a picture of a dog. He imagined it as a real
dog. And he made friends with the dog. And his pain went away!
