Short Story: The Secret to a Long Life
Lucy Williams worked in an office near the city center. She usually went for a walk in the park during her lunch hour. Nearly every day, she saw a very old man who was always sitting on the same bench. He had white hair, a long white beard, and a very contented expression. She sometimes nodded to him or said hello, and he always smiled back happily. One day, she decided to stop and speak to him.
“Excuse me,” said Lucy. “I often see you here. You always seem very cheerful, and you’re never sick! What’s your secret for a long and happy life?”
“My secret?” asked the old man, smiling. “I don’t have a secret.”
“But how often do you take exercise?” asked Lucy.
“I never take any exercise, young lady.”
“What about your diet? How often do you eat fresh fruit and vegetables?”
“I hardly ever eat vegetables,” he replied, still smiling. “And I smoke almost all the time.”
“That’s amazing!” said Lucy. “How old are you?”
“Thirty-five,” he replied.
