One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave,one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and Told him that he'd better not go there. Mark Twain waved(搖動)his hand and 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 sta?tion. He went into his room,but when he was just about to have a rest,quite a few mosquitoes flew about 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.
