Aunt Sarah was in her 80’s and lived in a little town in Pennsylvania.
She made a trip to see her niece and her husband who lived in one of Philadelphia’s most fashionable suburbs.
Nearby was a very well-known golf course.
On the second afternoon of her visit, Aunt Sarah went for a stroll.
Upon her return, her niece asked,
“Well, Auntie, did you enjoy yourself?”
“Oh, yes, indeed,” said Auntie, beaming.
” Before I had walked very far,” she continued,
“I came to some beautiful rolling fields. There seemed to be a number of people about, mostly men. Some of them kept shouting at me in a very eccentric manner, but I took no notice.”
“Oh, by the way,” she added, as she held out her hands,
“I found a number of these curious little round white balls, so I picked them all up and brought them home hoping you could explain what they’re for?”
