他在服務臺登記房間時，一只蚊子正好飛來。馬克•吐溫對服務員說：“早聽說貴地蚊子十分聰明，果如其然，它竟會預先來看我登記的房間號碼，以便晚上對號光臨，飽餐一頓。
服務員聽后不禁大笑。結果那一夜馬克•吐溫睡得很好，因為服務員也記住了房間號碼，提前進房做好滅蚊防蚊的工作。

One time,Mark Twain was invited to a feast.
During the feast,he told to a noble woman: ” Madam,you‘re so beautiful!” Unexpectedly,the woman said:” But sir,i‘m very sorry, i can‘t reply  in the same words.” Quick-minded and penetrating Mark Twain smiled:” It doesn‘t matter, you can lie as i did.”
