Once an old man went to see a doctor. The doctor looked him over carefully and said, “Medicine won’t help you. You must have a good rest. Go to bed early, drink milk, walk a lot and smoke one cigar (雪茄烟) a day. Go to the countryside for a month.”

After a month the man came to see the doctor again. “How are you?” said the doctor. “I’m glad to see you again. You look much younger.” “Oh, doctor, I feel quite well now,” said the man. “I had a good rest. I went to bed early, drank a lot of milk and walked a lot. Your advice certainly helped me, but that you told me to smoke one cigar a day almost killed (杀死) me first. It’s no joke to start smoking at my age.”
