Mrs. Black was worried because she couldn’t stop her son, Jack, from betting (打賭). Jack spent all his money betting on horse races. And even worse he would bet on everything. So Mrs. Black asked her family doctor, Mr. Dodd, for help. The doctor was an old funny man with a beard (胡須). He said, “I’ve stopped many people from betting before. I can help your son, too.”

The next day Mrs. Black took Jack to see the doctor. While they were talking, Jack was looking at the doctor’s beard. Suddenly he said, “I bet you $50 that your beard is not a real one.” “Oh, no,” the doctor said. “Can I pull your beard and find out?” the boy asked. “OK, if my beard is real, you will pay me $50.” Then the boy pulled it and soon found out it was real. The doctor laughed.

Two days later, the doctor telephoned Mrs. Black, “I think I’ve stopped your son from betting.” He told her the story. But Mrs. Black said, “You’ve made him worse.” “Why?” the doctor asked. “Because before he went to see you, he bet me $100 that you would ask him to pull your beard!”
