Перевод:
Марк Твен, известный американский писатель, был известен как лектор. Литературные клубы часто приглашали его говорить. Перед одной из его лекций член клуба приехал к нему и сказал:
«Г-н Твен, люди говорят, что Вы можете рассказать очень забавные истории. 1 надежда, что во время Вашей лекции Вы расскажете историю, которая заставит моего дядю смеяться. Он не смеялся в течение десяти лет.»
«Я приложу все усилия. » Марк Твен сказал.
Когда он начал свою лекцию, Марк Твен заметил члена клуба. Он сидел перед ним со стариком, у которого было очень печальное лицо.
Марк Твен начал говорить шутки, один за другим. «Я сказал шутки легкого и короткие шутки, новые шутки и старые шутки,» сказал Марк Твен его друзьям. «Я сказал каждой шутке, что знал, и скоро все смеялись. Все — но не старик. Он смотрел на меня с холодом, голубыми глазами. Я не мог заставить его смеяться, и я попробовал еще раз и снова. Но ничто не помогло…»
После лекции член клуба приехал к Марку Твену и сказал, «Спасибо, г-н Твен. Я никогда не слышал столько забавных историй», «Они не были достаточно забавны для Вашего дяди. » Марк Твен ответил. «Он даже не улыбался.»

Mark Twain, the famous American writer, was well-known as a lecturer. Literary clubs often invited him to speak. Before one of his lectures a club member came to him and said:
«Mr Twain, people say that you can tell very funny stories. 1 hope that during your lecture you will tell a story that will make my uncle laugh. He hasn’t laughed for ten years.»
«I will do my best.» Mark Twain said.
When he began his lecture, Mark Twain noticed the club member. He was sitting in front of him with an old man who had a very sad face.
Mark Twain began to tell jokes, one after another. «I told lung jokes and short jokes, new jokes and old jokes,» Mark Twain told his friends. «I told every joke I knew and soon everybody was laughing. Everybody — but not the old man. He was looking at me with cold, blue eyes. I couldn’t make him laugh, and I tried again and again. But nothing helped…»
After the lecture, the club member came to Mark Twain and said, «Thank you, Mr Twain. I have never heard so many funny stories» «They weren’t funny enough for your uncle.» Mark Twain answered. «He didn’t even smile.»

Mark Twain in France
I have just listened the story about a famous American writer Mark Twain. When he was travelling in France, he was going to Dijon by train. He wanted to sleep so he asked a conductor to wake him up when they came to Dijon. He explained that he was a heavy sleeper. He said to the conductor that he would protest loudly when he tried to wake him up. He asked the conductor to put him off the train anyway. Then Mark Twain went to sleep, when he woke up the train was in Paris already. He realized that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon. He was very angry with the conductor and began to shout at him. He said that he had never been so angry in all his life. The conductor looked at him calmly and said that Mark Twain wasn’t so angry as an another American whom the conductor had put off the train at Dijon.
I don’t like this story because the conductor made а mistake and didn’t еven say sorry.
Once
Mark Twain was invited to the opera. He accepted the invitation. The
box where he had a seat belonged to a very rich man. The rich man and
his wife were very proud because all their friends saw the famous
writer in their own box. During the performance the man and his wife
talked all the time. They talked loudly and so much that it was often
impossible for Mark Twain to listen to the opera.
Mark
Twain was very much annoyed. He liked music and always enjoyed
listening to the opera.
He
realized that neither the rich man nor his wife understood music and
they came to the opera just to show that the famous writer was a
friend of theirs.
Mark
Twain was very sorry he had accepted their invitation. That was very
foolish of him. Still there was no way out. He had to wait until the
end.
Towards
the end of the performance the rich lady turned to Mark Twain and
smiled. She was quite sure that the famous writer had enjoyed the
opera. So she invited Mark Twain to listen to another opera. She
told him that she and her husband ‘would be happy to see him in their
box the following Friday. She added that «Carmen» would be
on.
The
great writer expressed his gratitude for the invitation and said:
«That’ll
be fine. I haven’t heard you in «Carmen yet».

«Why

He Was Not Sure About It
A
rich American went to Paris and bought a picture by a modern
artist. He had paid a lot of money for the picture, so he thought the
picture was very good. He came to the hotel where he was staying and
wanted to hang the picture. To his surprise he could not say what was
the top and what was the bottom.
So
he thought of a plan. He hung the picture in the dining-room and
invited the artist to dinner. When the artist came, the American did
not tell him anything about the picture. When they began to eat their
soup, the artist looked at the picture many times. When they began
to eat their fish, he put on his glasses and looked at the picture
again. When fruit was served, the artist got up and approached the
picture to look at it more closely. When they began to drink
their coffee, the artist told the American that this picture was
upside down.
The
American was surprised and wondered why the artist had not told it to
him at once.
The artist had to admit that he himself had not been sure about it at
first. So the rich American left the picture on the wall as it was.
He thought that nobody would notice that it was upside down.

He Didn`t Laugh.
Mark Twain, the famous American writer, was well-known as a lecturer. Literary clubs often invited him to speak. Before one of his lectures a club member came to him and said:
“Twain, people say that you can tell very funny stories. I hope that during your lecture you will tell a story that will make my uncle laugh. He hasn`t laughed for ten years.”
“I`ll do my best.” Mark Twain said.
When he began his lecture, Mark Twain noticed the club member. He was sitting in front of him with an old man who had a very sad face.
Mark Twain began to tell jokes, one after another. “I told long jokes and short jokes, new jokes and old jokes,” Mark Twain told his friends. “I told every joke I knew and soon everybody was laughing. Everybody- but not the old man. He was looking at me with cold, blue eyes. I couldn`t make him laugh, and I tried again and again. But nothing helped…”
After the lecture, the club member came to Mark Twain and said, “Thank you, Mr. Twain .I have never heard so many funny stories.” “They weren`t funny enough for your uncle,” Mark Twain answered. “He didn`t even smile.”
I know, the man said. He hasn`t laughed for ten years. But I didn`t tell you that he hadn`t heard anything for ten years. He is deaf.

“Yes, I came to the town yesterday. I’m here for the first time. I haven’t walked around the city yet. However, I see it is lovely and green,” Mark Twain answered.
“Yes, our town is nice. And you’ve chosen a good time to come,” the shopkeeper said. Mark Twain gave the shopkeeper a questioning look.
“Mark Twain, a famous writer, is going to give a lecture at the writer’s club this evening. You simply must visit his lecture,” said the shopkeeper. Mark Twain smiled.
“But all the tickets for his lecture are sold out. So you will have to stand,” the shopkeeper continued.
