A Joke on Mark Twain
Mark Twain, the famous American writer and a great master of humor, liked to play jokes on others.
But once a joke was played on him.
One day Mark Twain was invited to give a talk in a small town. At lunch he met a young man, one of his friends.
The young man said that he had an uncle with him.
He told Mark Twain that his uncle never laughed or smiled, and that nobody was able to make his uncle smile or laugh.
"You bring your uncle to my talk tonight," said Mark Twain. "I'm sure I can make him laugh."
That evening the young man and his uncle sat in the front. Mark Twain began to speak.
He told several funny stories. This made everyone in the room laugh.
But the man never even smiled. Mark Twain told more funny stories, but the old man still kept quiet.
Mark Twain continued to tell his funny stories. Finally he stopped. He was tired and quite disappointed．
Some days later, Mark Twain told another friend of his about what had happened.
"Oh," said his friend. "I know that old man. He's been deaf for years."
