"Here I have$500,,whether you cure my wife or you kill her. I'll give you all this." The doctor was reassured  and went into the house.

Did you cure my wife?" asked the man. "I'm afraid that was impossible," replied the doctor."Well, then since you neither killed my wife nor cured her, I have nothing to pay you."
