When he recovered a moment later, he found a small crowd gathered around him. He asked angrily, "What are all these idlers doing here?"

"They're not idlers," his friend explained. "This man is a doctor who wants to examine you. That man is a lawyer, ready to file a lawsuit on your behalf. And this one is a comedy film producer, waiting for you to sign a contract to work for him."
