The Rejuvenation Pill | 返老还童药片

点击查看中英对照

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 rejuvenation 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 a 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."
