The healthiest place
Abe was visiting Israel for the first time. As soon as his plane landed, he got a taxi to take him to his hotel. The taxi driver was very friendly and told Abe all kinds of useful information.
Then Abe asked the driver, “Say, is Israel a healthy place?”
“Oh, yes, it really is,” the driver answered. “When I first came here, I couldn’t say even one simple word, I had hardly any hair on my head, I didn’t have the energy to walk across a small room and I even had to be helped out of bed every day.”
“That’s a remarkable story, truly amazing,” Abe said, “so how long have you been here in Israel?”
“I was born here,” the driver said.
