A rich lady lost her eye- sight owing to protracted illness. She called in a doctor and promised to pay him a large fee, if he could restore her eye-sight, but nothing, if he failed. The doctor was sure of his success and so he gladly accepted the offer.
Day after the day the doctor came to the house of the lady, who lay mostly in bed in her room. It was furnished with rich and costly furniture. The doctor was greedy and dishonest. One by one he took away all the things of value from the house.
Then he set about curing the lady, and in a short time she got back her normal sight.
“I have cured your eyes,” said the doctor to the lady. “Please give me the fees you have promised.” But the lady saw that the doctor had taken away all the rich contents of her house. The lady said, “I am still blind. I can’t see even the articles of my house. How can you say that you have cured my eyes?”
At this the doctor in anger sued her in court. The lady appeared before the judge and said, “Your Honor I beg to submit that when I was not blind. I could see the costly furniture of my house. But now I don’t see even a single piece of furniture. So I have not yet been cured of m blindness. The doctor cannot, therefore, claim fees.”
The judge dismissed the case. The doctor got nothing for his pain. In this way the dishonest doctor was rightly served.
Moral: Dishonesty cannot long go undetected.
