Story below about Mark Twain to answer questions 46-50. One day the writer Mark Twain arrived in a small town to give a lecture. At the local
pershop, he told the barber that it was his first visit to town. "It's a good day to be here,”
barber said. "Mr. Mark Twain is giving a lecture tonight. Do you think you'll go?"
"I guess so," replied the author.
"Do you have a ticket?” Twain shook his head. "Then you'll have to stand," the barber
ent on, because all the seats are sold out."
"Just my luck," said Twain. “I always have to stand when that fellow gives a lecture."
In another town, after a church service, Twain told the minister that he enjoyed the
sermon very much. Although," added Twain, "I have a book at home containing every
word of it."
The minister bristled. He had worked hard on that sermon. "Why that's not possible!"
he said, his eyes flashing.
"Well, I do," Twain insisted, and I'll send it over to you." The next day Twain sent
the minister a brand-new dictionary.
