    One day, Mark Twain went to a small town to give a lecture (讲座). At lunch he met a young man. The young man told him that he had an uncle. His uncle never laughed or smiled. Nobody and nothing could make his uncle smile or laugh. "You bring your uncle to my lecture tonight," said Mark Twain. "I'm sure I can make him laugh." That evening the young man and his uncle sat in the first row. Mark Twain spoke directly (直接地) at the old man. He told some funny stories. But the old man never even smiled. Mark Twain told the funniest story he knew. But the old man didn't still smile. At last Mark Twain stopped. He felt very tired and disappointed (失望的). Some days later, Mark Twain told one of his friends about what had happened. "Oh," said his friend. "I know that old man. He is deaf."
