English Original
One evening, a family brought their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home, hoping she would be well cared for.
The next morning, the nurses bathed her, fed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair by a window overlooking a lovely flower garden. She seemed fine, but after a while, she slowly started to lean sideways in her chair.
Two attentive nurses immediately rushed over to catch her and straighten her up. But after a while, she started to tilt to the other side.
The nurses rushed back and once more brought her back upright. This went on all morning.
Later, the family arrived to see how the old woman was adjusting to her new home. "So, Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?" they asked.
"It's pretty nice," she replied, "except they won't let me fart."

一天晚上，一家人将他们年迈体弱的母亲送到了养老院，希望她能在这里得到悉心照料。
第二天早上，护士们给她洗了澡，喂她吃了一顿美味的早餐，然后让她坐在窗边的椅子上，窗外是一个美丽的花园。她看起来很好，但过了一会儿，她开始在椅子上慢慢地向一侧倾斜。
两名细心的护士立即冲过去扶住她，让她坐直。但过了一会儿，她又开始向另一侧倾斜。
护士们又跑回来，再次把她扶正。整个上午都是如此。
后来，家人来看望老太太，看她是否适应新家。"妈，这里怎么样？她们对你好吗？"他们问道。
"挺好的，"她回答，"就是不准我放屁。"
