双语故事 万事通大夫(2)

　　The peasant did everything he was told to do. After he had doctored a little —— but not very much —— some money was stolen from a great and wealthy nobleman. Someone told him about the Doctor Know-All who lived in such and such a village, and who must know where the money had gone. So the nobleman had his carriage hitched up, rode out to the village, and asked him if he were Doctor Know-All.

　　"Yes, that I am."

　　"Then you must come with me and recover my stolen money."

　　"Yes, but my wife Grete must come along too."

　　The nobleman agreed and had them take their places in his carriage. They rode away together.

　　They arrived at the nobleman's court just at mealtime, and the nobleman invited him to eat.

　　"Yes, but include my wife Grete," he replied, and the two of them sat down behind the table.
