Doctor and Robber
One night about nine o'clock, Dr. Eyck, a surgeon(外科医生), had a phone call from Dr. Haydon at
the hospital in Clens Falls. The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who
shot himself while playing with a gun.
The doctor was soon on his way to Clens Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in
the city. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 o'clock.
A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat. Gun in hand, the man
ordered the doctor to get out. Then the man drove the car down the road, leaving the doctor in the falling
snow.
It was after two o'clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clens Falls.
Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before.
The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black
coat with his head in his hands.
"MR. Cunningham," said Dr. Haydon to the man, "This is Dr. Eyck. He is the surgeon who came all the way from Albany to save your boy."
