Mr Roger Sen is seventy years old. His wife Missy is a year younger.
They live on an estate with their two sons and their children. The sons
respect their parents alright, but never ask them for advice. Mr Sen
feels ignored and often says so. Last night he had an argument with his
elder son. John Sen wants to install Jacuzzis in every bathroom and
Roger Sen is completely against this. He tried to explain to John that
it would be a waste of money but John was not prepared to listen to
him. Roger wanted to teach his children a lesson that they could
scarcely forget. Today morning he and his wife drove out in their best
Mercedes before anyone had got up. Mr Roger Sen drove for miles and
miles till he suddenly hit a tree. Mrs Sen was thrown out but Mr Sen
fell into a nearby pond. When he came out Mrs Sen fainted on seeing
him. He looked into the rearview mirror of the car and then he knew.
Roger Sen was now looked as he had been when he was twenty-five. The
wrinkles were all gone, the eyes looked bright. Mr Sen now stood
completely erect and felt incredibly strong. Indeed, Roger Sen had
turned into an young man after falling into the pond. He did not know
what to do. He asked his wife to take a dip in the pond too but she was
not willing. So he called all his friends from his cellphone. In two
hours they were all there at the pond and bathed in it. All of them
became young men right away. And that is how their problems started.
Their wives were not willing to join them. When they went back to their
homes their children made fun of them. In fact they refused to
recognize these young men as their progenitors. Thus these people were
deprived of the fortunes they had amassed. When they visited firms
looking for jobs they were told that they were past the employable age.
This despite the fact that these men were strong and looked young. The
men decided to have some fun. They visited night clubs and discos
wearing fashionable, trendy clothes. But they found that most
attractive girls liked Robbie Williams, Back Street Boys and Westlife
while the men wanted to talk about The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Pink
Floyd. But they did like the all-night dancing. After being rejected
everywhere the men decided to build their own living area. They went
back to the pond and built houses there. They married local girls who
knew nothing about their past. On a silent full moon night a huge
meteorite fell into the pond. There was a lot of smoke which engulfed
the houses that the men had built painstakingly. After the smoke had
gone the men discovered that the youth they had regained had been lost
again. The pond was dry and the men were back to being seventy year
olds.
