with him. He told Twain that his uncle never laughed or smiled,

uncle to my talk tonight,”said Mark Twain.“I’m sure I can make him laugh.”That
evening the young man and his uncle sat in the front.Mark Twain began to speak.He told
several funny stories.This made everyone in the room laugh.But the man never even smiled.
Mark Twain told more funny stories,but the old man still kept quiet.Mark Twain told all his
funny stories. Finally he stopped. He was tired and quite disappointed. Some days
later,Mark Twain told another friend of his about what had happened.“Oh,”said his
