for him. "But I don't have enough money to pay both your fare and mine, "Mark
Twain said. The friend didn't know what to do. "We can do this, "said
Mark Twain." We can get on the train and when the conductor comes to check
the tickets, you can hide under my seat." Later, however, when the

his friend and one for himself. Then he explained in a loud voice, "My
