Mark Twain, the famous American writer, liked to play jokes on others. But once a joke was played on him.
One day Mark Twain was asked to give a talk in a small town. At lunch he met a young man he knew who told him that he had an uncle who never laughed or smiled. The young man told Mark Twain that nobody and nothing could possibly make his uncle smile and laugh.
“You bring your uncle to my talk 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(正好地) at the old man. He told some rather interesting stories, which made everyone in the hall laugh. But the old man never even smiled. Mark Twain told the most interesting stories he knew. But the old man's face was still a blank. At last Mark Twain stopped. He felt tired and discouraged(失去信心的).
Some days later, Mark Twain told a friend of his about what had happened. “Oh”, said his friend, “I know that old man. He has been deaf (聋的) for years.”
