George was seventy years old. He was always tired and his face was always red,but he didn't want to see the doctor. Last month, his wife said to him, " George , go and see the doctor. " " No," said George. Last week,he was even worse and he had to see the doctor alone (单独地) . Doctor Brown looked him over carefully and then said to him, " You are drinking too much. Stop drinking whisky (威士忌) and begin to drink milk. " George liked whiskey but he didn't like milk. "I'm not a baby, " he always said to his wife. Now , he looked at the doctor and said , " But drink- ing milk is dangerous to me , doctor. " The doctor laughed and said , " Dangerous'? Why?" " Well, doctor, " George said, " It killed (杀死 ) one of my best friends last year. " The doctor laughed again. George said, " The cow fell down on him when he milked it. "
