English Original
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."

黛丽女士渐渐老去,日夜被疼痛折磨。一天,她收到儿子寄来的包裹,里面有一些药片和一封信。信中写道:“亲爱的妈妈,我给您寄来一种神奇的药,叫做返老还童片。它会让您恢复健康,年轻好几岁。”
几个月后,吉米回到家。门廊上坐着一位美丽的年轻女士,正摇着摇篮,摇篮里有个婴儿在吸奶瓶。
“我妈妈呢?”吉米问。
“别傻了,我就是你妈妈。那些药片太神奇了。”
“真不可思议,吃一片就能变得如此美丽。再吃一片,你甚至能再生个孩子。天哪,这药效真强。”
“那不是孩子。那是你爸爸。他吃了两片。”
