Where did the farmer live? He lived in ______

A farmer who lived in a small village suffered from a severe headache. This never seemed to get any better. The farmer finally decided that he would consult a doctor in the nearest town. The farmer was told that a patient had to pay three pounds for the first visit and one pound for the second visit. He thought about this for a long time, and then he decided to consult the doctor in the town a second time. As he came into the doctor’s consulting room, he said, "Good morning, Doctor. Here I am again." The doctor was a little surprised. He asked him a few questions and then took one pound which the farmer insisted on giving him. Then the doctor said with a smile, "Well, sir. There’s nothing new. Please continue to take the same medicine I gave you the first time you came to see me."
