Once there was a man named Clarke. He lived alone and owned a small shop in town.
从前有一个名叫克拉克的人。他独自生活，在镇上拥有一家小店。
He was very kind-hearted and was always ready to help people in trouble.
他非常善良，总是乐于助人，帮助那些陷入困境的人。
He often gave away what he had to the poor, so, as a result, he was quite poor himself.
他经常把自己拥有的东西送给穷人，因此，他自己也变得相当贫穷。
In order to help the poor, he learned medicine by himself and tried to help treat the sick people.
为了帮助穷人，他自学了医学，并尽力帮助治疗病人。
So the thankful people called him Doctor Clarke even though he wasn’t a real doctor at all.
因此，心怀感激的人们称他为“克拉克医生”，尽管他根本不是真正的医生。
One day a poor woman asked Doctor Clarke to go and see her husband, who was very ill and felt terribly weak.
一天，一位贫穷的妇女请求克拉克医生去看看她的丈夫，她的丈夫病得很重，感觉非常虚弱。
Doctor Clarke went there and found the family was very poor.
克拉克医生去了那里，发现这家人非常贫穷。
The husband couldn’t find a job for a long time and the wife could hardly make any money, either.
丈夫很长时间都找不到工作，妻子也几乎赚不到钱。
Doctor Clarke looked him over carefully and to his surprise, the husband was not ill.
克拉克医生仔细检查了他，令他惊讶的是，这位丈夫并没有生病。
Instead, he was hungry because there was no food in the house.
相反，他是饿了，因为家里没有食物。
“Come over to my house this evening and I will give you some medicine for your husband” Doctor Clarke said to the woman.
“今晚到我家来，我会给你一些药给你的丈夫。”克拉克医生对那位妇女说。
When the woman got to his house in the evening, Clarke gave her a paper bag with something inside and said, “Here is the medicine and it will be good for your husband. Don’t open it until you get home.”
当这位妇女晚上来到他家时，克拉克递给她一个装着东西的纸袋，并说：“这是药，对你丈夫有好处。到家之前不要打开它。”
“What are the instructions for taking it?” the woman asked.
“服用说明是什么？”那位妇女问道。
“You will find them inside the bag.” answered Clarke.
“你会在袋子里找到说明的。”克拉克回答道。
After the woman got home, she opened the paper bag and found there was some money in it!
这位妇女回到家后，打开了纸袋，发现里面有一些钱！
