A
1
physician (内科医生), who was lying on his deathbed, was surrounded by several fellow physicians, who were weeping at his loss.
When the
2
man observed it, he comforted them, by saying, "Don"t weep, gentlemen, because I must die. It is not such a great loss to the world as you think, for I shall leave three great physicians behind me."
Every one of them
3
that he was one of the three. So they pressed him very much, to tell them, who the well-known men were.
"They are: Water,
4
and Temperance," he replied.
One may easily imagine how surprised and disappointed they were, when they received this
5
answer.
