In the evening a husband and his sick wife come to his private home from far away. He tells them to go to the hospital. The wife dies during the operation. The other doctors think that Walter might have saved her. Shortly afterward a man asks Walter to come to a village to treat a very sick man. Walter goes thither in his car. The local habitants do not allow him to apply Western medical techniques, all tyres of his car are stolen, and he sees husband in this village. Walter tells him that his wife would not have died if he had timely taken her to a doctor. Walter buys a lot of coca-cola and starts walking home on his feet. He refuses husband's offer to show him a shortcut. But thrice he finds husband sitting at the road much ahead of him. Then he accepts husband's guidance = misguidance. When they have been without water for many days and Walter wishes he was dead, he wounds husband with a knife. Husband is sure to die within 24 hours without medical treatment. Then husband says that inhabited areas are found in a quite different direction. Walter starts in this direction, not followed by husband. Written by Max Scharnberg, Stockholm, Sweden See less
