Now and then we may all get ill. Then we usually go to see a doctor. Doctors know a lot about what makes us ill. They may give us some medicine to take. The medicine often makes us well again.

But sometimes medicine can’t drive the pain or hurt away. A sick person does not get well after taking enough medicine. This ever happened to one man. He was not getting well even if he had been in hospital for nearly a month. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. This “doctor” was his own sense of humor. He saw laughable films and read funny comic books. Something wonderful happened! Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and rest well. He said laughing was his best “medicine”. His doctor thought so.

Here is another sick man. He had a terrible pain in his back. The doctors tried every effort to stop it from hurting, but failed. Then the man began to draw pictures in his mind. He “drew” a picture of a dog. He imagined it as a real dog that was biting (咬) his back and made him feel a lot of pain. Then the man talked softly to the dog and touched its head gently. He soon made friends with the dog and the dog didn’t bite him any more. To everyone’s surprise, his pain went away!

These stories may surprise you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So call on the “doctor” inside your own heads. Stay happy and well!
