　　One dayMrs.Smithvisitedthefamilydoctor, Edward Swain.Dr.Swain was an old man with a long beard.
　　"What"s the problem, Mrs. Smith?" Dr. Swain asked her.
　　"I"m very worried about my son, Teddy," Mrs. Smith said. "I cannot stop him from gambling. He spends all the money betting on horse races. And not just on horse races. He"ll bet on anything. It does not matter what it is. "
　　"I"ve cured people of gambling before," Dr.Swain said. "Send him to me. I"ll talk to him."
　　A week later Dr. Swain spoke to Mrs. Smith on the phone.
　　"I think I"ve cured your son," he said.
　　"That"s wonderful. How did you do it?"
　　"Well," the doctor said, "it was very strange. While we were talking he was looking at my beard. Suddenly he said, ‘Ｉ bet you $ 50 that"s a false beard.’"
　　"Oh, no!" Mrs. Smith said disappointedly.
　　"It"s all right, believe me." the doctor said. "I knew what to do. ‘My beard is not a false one,’ I told him. ‘And I can prove it.’ "
　　"‘Can I pull your beard and find out?’ your son asked me.
　　"I thought this is my chance to teach him a lesson, so I said, ‘Yes, you can pull my beard. ’"
　　"Well, he pulled it, and soon found it was real." The doctor laughed. "He had to pay me ＄50. That sounds to cure his gambling."
　　"Doctor," Mrs.Smith said, "You"re wrong.You haven"t cured him. You"ve made him worse.
　　"How can that be?" the doctor asked.
　　"The day before he went to see you, he bet me ＄100 that you would ask him to pull your beard!"
　　
　　一天，史密斯夫人去家庭医生爱德华・斯韦恩那里就诊。斯韦恩压生是一位留着长胡子的老人。
　　斯韦恩医生问她：“你怎么了，史密斯夫人?”
　　“我十分担心我的儿子――泰迪。我无法阻止他赌博。他把钱都花在赌跑马赛上了。事实上，不只是赌赛马，不管什么他都要赌。”史密斯夫人对医生说。
　　“我以前帮好赌的人戒过赌。把他带来，我跟他谈谈。”斯韦恩医生说。
　　一个星期之后，斯韦恩医生打电话给史密斯夫人。
　　他说：“你儿子的病已经治好了。”
　　“太好了，你怎么做的?”
　　医生告诉她说：“说来也巧，我们谈话时，他一直盯着我的胡子看。突然，他说：‘你这个胡子是假的，我赌50美元。”’
　　“哦，不，这样做不行!”史密斯夫人失望地说道。
　　“没问题，相信我。”医生说，“我知道该怎么做。我对你儿子说：‘我的胡子是真的，我可以证明。’”
　　“泰迪便问我：‘我可以拽拽你的胡子证实一下吗?’”
　　“我想这是教训他的好机会，于是便对他说：‘当然，你可以拽拽看。’”
　　“泰迪拽了拽我的胡子，立刻发现胡子果然是真的。”医生大笑起来，“他得付给我50美元。这件事好像帮他戒掉了好赌的恶习。”
　　史密斯太太说：“医生，你错了，你不但没治好他，反而使事情更糟了。”
　　“这话怎么讲?”医生问道。
　　“去你那儿之前，他说你一定会让他拽你的胡子，并为此跟我赌了一百美元。”
