Once upon a time, there was a folk healer who boasted about his exceptional medical skills. One day, an old man suddenly approached him and asked:
– I’ve heard you’re an amazing healer. How many patients have you cured?
The healer confidently replied:
– Every patient who listens to me is completely cured.
The old man frowned and said:
– Have you forgotten? You told my grandson to take your medicine for a year to get well, but he died after just three months of taking it.
The healer waved his hand dismissively and said:
– Clearly, it’s because your grandson didn’t follow my instructions. I said to take the medicine for a whole year; how can he die after only three months? He should have completed the full year of treatment and then we would see if he got better!
