以下は笑い話で一読後ニヤリとしていればよい類のものですがこれをまじめに英語で解釈してみませんか？英会話の話題としてもご利用ください。
After sending a parcel to European relatives, we received a very grateful letter with this paragraph:
“If you can, please send us more pills. We didn’t know what they were until Cousin Lempi came — she has studied English, you know — and read the name for us. Then we gave them all to Uncle Paul who has been suffering from rheumatism and he feels much better now. He says it is the best medicine he ever took. The pills are called Life Savers.”
