The boy had hurt himself in a traffic accident and he was in danger, but his family was so poor that they could not pay the doctor anything. After hearing all this, Dr Johnson decided to save the boy. Soon, he drove his car and he thought that he could get to the hospital before 12 o’clock. A few minutes later, the doctor’s car had to stop for a red light at a crossing. Suddenly a man in an old black coat opened the door of the car and got in.
“Drive on”, he said. “I’ve got a gun..”
“I’m a doctor,” said Johnson, “I’m on my way to a hospital to operate on a very sick…”
“Don’t talk,” said the man in the old black coat, “Just drive.”
A mile out of the town, he ordered the doctor to stop the car and get out. Then the man drove on down the road. The doctor stood for a moment in the snow.
