The old age had crept in on Mrs. Daly. Aches and pains bothered her day and night. One day, she received a package with some pills and a letter from her son. The letter said, "Dear Mom, I am sending you some wonder drug called rejuvenation¹ pills. It will make you well and years younger."

 

A few months later, Jimmy came home. Sitting on the porch was a beautiful young lady rocking a cradle with a baby in it sucking the bottle.

 

"Where is my mother?" Jimmy asked.

 

"Don't be silly. I am your mother. Those pills were marvelous."

 

"Imagine, with one pill, you're as beautiful as anyone can be. Once more, you could have a baby, My, they are powerful."

 

"That's not a baby. That's your father, He took two."

 

黛丽女士渐渐变老了，身上的疼痛日日夜夜折磨着她。有一天，黛丽收到儿子寄来的一个包裹，里面放着一些药片和一封信，儿子在信中说：“亲爱的妈妈，我给你寄来了一些神奇的药片，返老还童片，吃了后你会变得健康年轻。”

“真是不可思议，那个药吃了一片就可以美梦成真，再吃一片就可以生个孩子，哇塞，药片可真厉害。”

 

“那可不是孩子，那是你爸爸，他吃了两片。”
