Are You Angry, Sir?

Once Mark Twain was traveling in France by train. He was going to a small town near Paris. It was very late at night. He was very tired and wanted to sleep. He asked the conductor to wake him up when they got to the town and went to sleep. It was early morning when he woke up and the train was already in Paris.

Mark Twain was very angry. He ran up to the conductor and cried, "I asked you to wake me up."

Why didn't you do it? I am very angry with you!

The conductor looked at him for a moment and said, "You may be very angry, sir, but not so angry as the American whom I put off the train instead of you."
