The Man Who Lost His Shadow

It was around nine o'clock in the morning when he noticed that his shadow faded away and vanished. Extremely worried, instead of walking to his office, he decided to see his physician. The doctor measured his blood pressure, took his pulse, checked his temperature and conducted a series of other tests. "There seems to be nothing wrong with you", said the doctor. The man left the doctor's office relieved. He walked now under a clear blue sky, elated and whistling. A bright sun was shining above and he was happy to see that his shadow reappeared as if out of nowhere.
