Country Doctor

An old country doctor went deep into the woods to deliver a
baby. The cabin was so remote that it had no electricity.
Upon arriving, the doctor realized that the laboring mother
and her five-year-old child were the only people there.
With no one else to help him, the doctor finally instructed
the child to hold a lantern so he could see to deliver the
baby.
The child was happy to help, and held the lantern high
while the mother pushed. After a little while, the baby was
born, and the doctor held the newborn by the feet and
spanked him on the bottom to get him to take his first
breath.
With the excitement over, the doctor asked the
five-year-old for an opinion about the baby.

"Hit him again," the five-year-old said. "He shouldn't have
crawled up there in the first place!"
