The story:
Once a young man had an attack of fever. The doctor gave him a few doses of a
black medicine. He places it on the table and told his servant to give him a
dose after every three hours. An ink-pot was lying near the bottle, and the
servant was not educated. He took it for medicine and poured out dose of ink
for his master. But he discovered his mistake before long. He turned pale and
could not help telling the whole thing to him. “Never mind,” said the young man
very seriously “All that I need to rectify the wrong is a piece of
blotting-paper. Give it to me just now, and I shall swallow it up.”
