The doctor advises a change of the place where he lives. “Go abroad,” he said. “But Im not good at foreign language,” said Mr. Smith. “It doesnt matter, said the doctor. “It wont hurt you to talk a little less. Go on a voyage. Take plenty of exercise. Try to become thinner. Avoid rich food.”Mr. Smith went to Switzerland. He did not know French or German, and had to communicate through gestures. He attended a physical training course. The teacher made him bend his knees, wave his arms, and shake his head rapidly. He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs one after another. After a time his muscles grew hard and firm. He forgot the problems in his business and the importance of raising the level of production. He even began to notice small trees and small birds.Finally he returned home.

The Italian Minister of foreign Affairs came very late. A young lady, who was well acquainted with him, saw him enter the ball-room and asked why he was so late.“You see,: said the Minister, “there has been a little accident at the Kings palace.”The curious young lady asked the Minister to tell her what had happened at the Kings palace.“Oh, nothing important,” answered the Minister. “The ambassador of Brazil, who was to be presented to the King, forgot to take his credentials with him and was obliged to go back to his hotel to bring them. If he had left them in brazil we should have had to wait at least six months for them.”“Is Brazil so far from Rome?” asked the lady, who knew very little geography.“It is in the New World.” Said the Minister.“In the New World?” repeated the lady in great astonishment.“Yes, in the New world.” Answered the Minister in a sarcastic tone, “which was discovered by Christopher Columbus.”When the young lady heard this, she rushed into the middle of the ball-room and shouted as loud as she could:“Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard the latest news? A new world has just been discovered by a certain Christopher Columbus.”46.
