“We can do this, ”said Mark Twain. “We can get on the train and when the conductor(列車員) comes to check the tickets,you can hide(藏) under my seat. ”
Later, however, when the conductor came to check the tickets, Mark Twain gave him two tickets-one for his friend and one for himself . Then he explained in a loud voice. “My friend here is a strange man. When he travels on a train, he doesn’t like to sit on the seat.
