A Doctor's Wise Investment
(originally in English)
There was an art exposition, and the artist who painted
the pictures for the exposition asked the gallery owner
whether anyone had been interested in his paintings.
So the owner said, "I have good news and bad news for you.
The good news is that there was a gentleman interested
in your paintings and he asked me whether your artwork
would increase in value after your death, just like that of
many other artists. So I said, yes, of course, it would.
According to your potential, your paintings will, of course,
increase in value after your death. So he bought fifteen of
them altogether. That's the good news." Then the artist asked,
"What about the bad news?" And the gallery owner replied, "
The guy who bought the paintings is your doctor."

钱。我告诉他这是当然的，以你的潜力，死了以后画
