Question

A letter to your grandpa asking about his health

Answer 1

Dear Grandpa,

Dad told me that your cataract operation has been smooth and you will soon be as fit to read as any other man of letters! I am sure that in a fortnight you shall be back to your books, delving deep into the unfathomable ocean of knowledge, seeking pearls of wisdom not meant for the hoi polloi.

What I really admire about you is the manner in which you have lead a disciplined life to keep yourself away from the kind of depressing health problems that are usually associated with old age. I pray to God that the pain you experienced for your eye vanishes completely and you are again able to live life to the full. You are the best company I have ever had. Your reputation as a raconteur is well-established and your stories have been an inherent part of my education.
