(I have taken some independence in my translation.Hope the author would pardon.)

One journalist went  to interview a psychiatrist  ,

And asked  him , “How will  you find our  ,

That   your patient  is completely  cured  ?”

And the doctor told  ‘We will give  him,

A bucket of water , a sppon and a mug .

And request him to   empty  the bucket.”

The journalist understood   and told the doctor,

“If he  empties it with a spoon, I hope he  is not cured or he is a baby,

But I were  given the task , I will empty   with the mug.”

The doctor  laughed  and said, “Oh then you are semi,

A normal man will simplyoverturn and empty the  bucket.”
