him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told

said, "It doesn't matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I

don't think they will come to visit me. "

     After he arrived at the town,Mark Twain stayed in a small

hotel near the station. He went into his room,but when he was just

about to have a rest,  quite a few mosquitoes flew around him. The

waiters felt very sorry about that. "I'm very sorry, Mr Mark Twain.

There are too many mosquitoes in our town," one of them said

to him.

"The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number.

They didn't come into the wrong room. " What he said made all the

people present laugh heartily.
