pesh goshi

....it was  autumn   when he fell ill returning from a remote area , the minute he entered  his native town   high fever gripped him, he sent for a doctor, the servant brought  District   doctor home within half hour,  the doctor was a medium  sized  black haired  thin man , he  checked him up  , he then opened his first aid box to give him  some pills followed by an injection,  a prescription to the servant  with instructions to get them from the market,  the servant left 
The doctor was  a talkative person  , he began gossiping with him waiting for the servant to return with prescribed medicine,  the narrator was certain he would ne overcharged 
The night was passing  and the servant was back,  handing the medicines he went to the kitchen to make tea,  both the visiting doctor and the sick host  spent long time talking  as if they were known to each other for ages 
The tea was served by the servant,  they began sipping their hot steaming tea, ,  he asked the doctor to tell him about some unforgettable  incident in his life 
The doctor looked at him  carefully  before   going into a deep reverie,  his eyes focused  into the oblivion on some invisible point,  be sat meditatively  for rather long,  when he spoke his voice was weak and trembling,  he began speaking slowly a narrative
