Two old men, who had been friends in early youth, met after an interval
of many years. A cordial greeting ensued, and then one of them asked
the other: "How old are you now?" He said: "Thank God, I am in good
health." "Are you well-off in worldly goods?" "Thank God, I am in
debt to no man." "Have you any special trouble of mind?" "Thank God,
I have no young children." "Have you any enemies?" "Thank God, I have
no near relations."
