HE PAID HIS BILL

An Englishman who was in France on a short visit wanted to go back to England. He had only enough money to pay for his ticket. So he decided not to eat two days of his voyage. He bought a ticket and got on the ship. When dinner time came, he said he was not hungry. In the evening when he was asked to have supper, he said the same and went to sleep hungry. The next morning the Englishman felt half-dead with hunger. "I shall eat even if they throw me into the sea," he said to himself and went to the dining-room. There he ate everything that was on the table before him. When the dinner was over, he quickly stood up and went to his cabin.
     In the evening when the ship was not far from London, he ate his supper and said to the waiter, "Bring me the bill for my meals."
     But the waiter asked, "What bill?" "For the dinner and supper I ate." "But you paid for your meals when you bought the ticket," answered the waiter.
