“But I don't have enough money to buy two tickets,” said Mark Twain.
His friend didn't know what to do.
“You can hide under my seat when the conductor comes to check the tickets,” Mark Twain said to him. When the conductor came to check the tickets, Mark Twain gave him two tickets, one for himself and the other for his friend.
He said to the conductor, “My friend is a strange man. When he travels on a train, he does not like to sit on the seat. He likes to lie on the floor under the seat.”
Everyone in the train looked at his friend under the seat and laughed.
