1. Once there was a very cheap farmer. He had many children, of whom one caught an affliction of the lungs.
2. The illness was very serious, and even the doctors gave up hope.
3. The child could only wait for death.
4. Don't think that being sick means you can just sit around all day. Can't you keep an eye on the pear garden?
5. That fall the wind was very strong, and one night many unripened pears were blown to the ground.
6. If we cook up the pears and eat them, we can save some rice, then sell the rice to make up for the loss of the pears.
7. so the sick child had to eat pears every day.
8. After passing some time this way, the child met a doctor while outside.
9. What's this? Your color is much improved!
10. Let me check your pulse. . . . Hey, your illness seems much better. What medicine have you been taking?
11. Don't make me laugh. When would my father ever buy medicine for me? I have to eat pears every day as it is.
12. What? You eat pears for your meals?
13. The doctor continued to ask questions, trying to get to the bottom of this.
14. It could very well be the effect of the pears. Keep eating them and see.
15. The next day the doctor went to the farmer's house and bought many pears, and gave them to other patients with lung illnesses when he returned, telling them to cook them and eat them.
16. After nearly a month, each of the patients took a turn for the better.
17. Because fresh pears don't keep for long, the doctor cooked up a pear paste over a low flame so that his patients could use it over a longer period.
18. Half a year later, all of those patients, pronounced incurable by other doctors, had completely healed.
19. From then on, people knew that pears are good for lung problems.
