Half A Million Dollars\n
\"Half
Half A Million Dollars\n

Old Granny Parkinson had won over half a million dollars in the lottery,\n

but as she was a frail little woman her family was concerned that the shock of hearing the news might prove too much for her.\n

Accordingly, they called in the family doctor to ask his advice.\n

\u201cI\u2019ll tell her if you like,\u201d said the doctor. \u201cI\u2019ll lead up to it gradually.\u201d\n

The family accepted his offer gratefully, and showed him into the old lady\u2019s bedroom.\n

The doctor pretended to give her a routine examination and then began to chat generally of this and that, carefully leading the conversation \u2018round to money.\n

\u201cTell me Mrs. Parkinson,\u201d he said, \u201cwhat would you do if you suddenly came into half a million dollars?\u201d\n

\u201cHalf a million?\u201d said the old lady reflectively, \u201cwell you\u2019ve always been very good to me, doctor, so I think I\u2019d give half of it to you.\u201d\n
