Jack Brown is very fat. His wife is worried about his health.
“You should see the doctor,”she says.“Ask him how to lose weight. It's not good for your health.”
“OK,”says Jack. He goes to see a doctor.
The doctor weighs him. Then he says,“You are too heavy. You must lose about 30 kilograms. Eat only fruit and vegetables. Run 5 kilometers a day for the next 100 days. Then call me and tell me how much you weigh.”
Jack goes home and does what the doctor told him. One hundred days later, he calls the doctor.
“Jack Brown here, doctor,”he says.“I'm calling to tell you about my weight . You will be happy. I have lost 30 kilograms.”
“Great,”says the doctor.
“Yes, but there's a problem,”Jack says.“I'm 500 kilometers away from home. I don't know how to get back!”
