Mark Twain was a famous American writer. He loved writing, hunting and fishing very much. One year he went to Maine on vacation and spent three very happy weeks there.
When it was time to get back home, Mark Twain went to the station with his baggage(行李). After putting it on the train, he sat on a comfortable seat. A few minutes later, another man came over and sat next to him. Mark Twain looked at the man and saw that he was unhappy. He thought it would be impolite to say nothing first, and they began to talk. They talked about the weather and then Maine. The stranger said, “We have some beautiful woods(森林) in Maine. I guess you have been there, haven’t you?”
“Yes, I have,” answered Mark Twain. “I’ve just spent three pleasant weeks there. And let me tell you something: although fishing isn’t allowed in Maine this season, I’ve got two hundred pounds of beautiful fish. I like eating fish, so I put them on the ice to take them home. May I know who you are, sir?”
The stranger looked at Mark Twain for several seconds and answered, “I’m a policeman. My job is to catch people who hunt and fish during the wrong seasons. And what do you do?”
Mark Twain answered, “Well, sir, I’m the man who tells the biggest lies(謊言) in America.”
