Old John went to see a doctor. The doctor looked over him and said, "Medicine can't help
you. You must have a good rest. Go to a quiet place for a month, go to bed early, drink some
milk, walk a lot and smoke one cigar a day."
"Thank you very much,"said John."I can do everything as you say."
A month later old John came to the doctor again. "Well," said the doctor,"I'm glad to see
you. You look much younger."
"Oh, Doctor," said old John,"I feel well now.I had a good rest. I went to bed early.I
drank a lot of milk, and l walked a lot. Your advice certainly helped me. But you asked me to
smoke one cigar a day, and the one cigar a day nearly killed me at first. It's no joke to start
smoking at my age."
