2. A young boy visiting his grandmother pointed excitedly one afternoon and whispered, ‘Granny, why is that doctor talking to our cat?’ The old lady smiled knowingly. 'That’s not just any doctor,' she whispered back. 'Dr. Springcliffe talks to every animal who comes in here.' She giggled softly. 'He says it helps them feel more comfortable.' The boy looked puzzled but soon burst out laughing as he saw their cat purring contentedly on the examination table.

Curious, the driver peeked inside and saw an old doctor in a dressing gown, stirring something in a beaker. ‘Ah,’ said the doc, noticing him for the first time. ‘Just brewing some special herbal tea for my patients. Care for a cup?’ The driver shook his head, laughing. ‘Next time you order coffee, use Fedex!’
