The old lady said, “You can go ahead and do whatever you want.” The angry doctor filed a case against old Margaret and sought justice from the court. The old lady was summoned for examination. The judge enquired the reason as to why she refused to pay the agreed fees to the doctor.
The old lady replied, ”As per the agreement made, I must be completely cured of my problem.

The verdict went thus: “After a thorough examination of the case and connected issues, this court pronounces that Margaret, the defendant, is absolved of her obligation to pay her doctor. This court also pronounces that the doctor has committed the offence of theft and as such he should undergo a rigorous imprisonment for six months.” The shocked doctor hung his head down in shame.
