　　One evening three men came to a station and asked a porter(搬運工)，“What time is the next train for London? ”

　　The porter said, “You’ve just missed one. They go every hour. The next one is at ten o’clock. ”“That’s all right, ”they said, “We will go and have a drink. ”So they went to a refreshment room (茶點室). A minute or two after ten o’clock they came and said to the porter, “Has the train gone? ”

　　“Yes. It went at ten o’clock, ”he said.

　　“That’s all right. ”They said， “We will go and have another drink. ”So they went back again.

　　They missed the eleven o’clock train in the same way, and the porter said, “Now the next train is the last one; if you miss that, you won’t get to London today. ”Twelve o’clock came, and the three men ran quickly out of the refreshment room.

　　Two of them got into the train just as the train was leaving, but the third one didn’t run fast enough, and the train went out. The porter went up to the third man and said, “I told you this was the last train. Why didn’t you come earlier? ”

　　The man stood there and laughed for a long time. Then he said, “I was going to London; they only came here to see me off. ”
