11.Breaking The News A very old lady won a million dollars in a lottery. Her son and his wife heard the news on the radio. “How are we going to tell your mother?” the wife asked. “The shock might kill her!” “That’s true,” the son said. “Perhaps we’d better speak to her doctor about it. He’ll know how to break the news to her gently.” They explained the situation to the old lady’s doctor. “I’m glad you told me,” he said, “A shock, even a happy one, could give her a heart attack. Leave it to me. I’ll find a way of breaking the news to her.” He thought about the problem for several days, then decided what he would say. He called on the old lady and sat by her beside. He took her hand in his. “Let’s play a game, my dear,” he said. “A ‘Let’s Pretend’ game.” “Oh, yes,” the old lady said. “I love ‘Let’s Pretend’ game.” “Good. I’ll ask you a question first,” the doctor said. “Then you can me one.” He pretended to think for a few moments. Then he said, “Tell me, what would you do if you won a million dollars in the lottery?” “Oh, that’s an easy one,” the old lady said. “I’d give most of it to you, doctor, because you have been so good to me all these years. Doctor!” But the doctor was now lying on the floor. He had died of shock.
