Healthy

At the urging of his doctor, an elderly man moved to the deepest countryside. After settling in, he met a neighbor who was also an older man. ‘Say, is this really a healthy place?’ ‘It sure is,’ the man replied. ‘When I first arrived here I couldn’t say one word. I had hardly any hair on my head. I didn’t have the strength to walk across a room, and I had to be lifted out of bed.’ ‘That’s wonderful!’ said the newcomer. ‘How long have you been here?’ ‘I was born here.’
