Greece. They were meant to find the quickest, the strongest and the smartest

The Greek Olympic Games stopped in 394 AD. They were restarted in

20. Read the story and give the main idea of it:
One day Mr. Bell went to see his doctor and ask for advice. Mr. Bell
had been sick and suffered from regular pains in his stomach. He had to keep
to a diet without sugar and meat.
The doctor wasn’t in his office at the moment and Mr. Bell decided to
go to the chemist’s as the doctor often spent his time there. He bought
different medicines for his patients who were seriously ill. When Mr. Bell
entered the chemist’s shop he saw the doctor. He was choosing some pills
either for a headache or for some other disease.
The doctor noticed Mr. Bell immediately and they greeted each other.
They started to talk about the weather. Mr. Bell thought that it was going to
rain as a cold wind was blowing and it was getting bitterly cold. The doctor
said it was rather warm for that season though he agreed that it might rain at
any time.
They talked about their neighbours, about fishing and the political
situation in the country and then went home. When Mr. Bell was lying in his
bed, half asleep, he remembered that he had wanted to ask the doctor for
advice.
