Mark Twain, the famous American writer, was travelling in France. One day he was going to Dijon
by train. That afternoon he was very tired and wanted to sleep. He asked the conductor to wake him up
when they arrived in Dijon. He explained that he was a very heavy sleeper, "I'll probably protest (抗议)
loudly when you try to wake me up," he said to the conductor. "But do not take any notice, just keep
pushing me."
Then Mark Twain went to sleep. Later, when he woke up, it was nighttime and the train was already
in Paris. He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon. He was very angry.
He ran up to the conductor and began to shout at him."I haven't been so angry in all my life," Mark Twain
said. The conductor looked at him calmly (平静地). "You are not half as angry as the American whom I
put off the train at Dijon," he said.
