THE BEST MEDICINE





A young boy was feeling sad and depressed. He was always
unduly quiet and reserved. He never wanted to play or be
with friends. All he wanted to do was, to sit alone and
sulk.



One day his mother took him to a physician. She explained
the problem to him at length. She was worried that her son
was getting into depression. The doctor examined the boy and
found everything to be in order. To satisfy the mother, he
prescribed some medication. What he had actually given was
multivitamins. The physician took the mother aside and said,
"Madam, I have given the boy a prescription for the ailment.
But the most important thing he needs is love. Give him as
much love as you can. That's the best medicine for him. I
assure you he will be as good as new."



The worried lady asked, "What if it doesn't work?"



The physician smiled.



"Just double the dose!" he said.
