Jimmy and Emma were both patients in a high class mental hospital. One day they were walking the hospital corridors while past the hospital swimming pool Jimmy decided to suddenly jump into the deep end. He sank and dropped like a stone to the bottom of the pool where his corpse remained. Emma promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and managed to pull Jimmy out.
She brought him to his room.
The hospital director found out about Emma's heroic act, and she immediately ordered that Emma be discharged from the hospital because of her good deed. She was now considered mentally stable.
She went to Emma and said:
I have some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that you're being discharged because we found out about how you rescued Jimmy , you responded so rationally to a crisis that we decided you should go home to your familly. By jumping in the pool to save the life of another patient, you displayed sound mindedness and concern for other people , nonetheless this prooves your sanity . The bad news is that Jimmy, the patient you rescued from certain death, hung himself in one of the hospital's bathrooms with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry to bring you bad news, but he died and it looks although you're heroic gesture won't be forgetten , it was in vain.
Emma replied, He didn't hang himself. I was the one who put him there to dry. When can I go home??"
