The oldest man in the village had just enjoyed his hundredth birthday and a reporter from a famous paper came for a visit. After he congratulated the old man, the reporter asked a few questions.
"Why can you enjoy such a long life, sir? Will you say something to teach others?" he asked.
The kind, old man smiled. He thought for a while and then held up his hand. He counted with his fingers: "Why, I never smoked, or drink alcoholic liquors (烈性酒) or ate too much, and always rise at six in the morning."
"But," said the visitor, "I had an uncle. He also did so, yet he only lived to be eighty. What is your explanation (解释) of that?"
"He didn't keep it up long enough," was the short reply.
