Text 6

It is easy to go to Washington now. You can go there by air-plane from any large town of the USA. There are also fast trains and you can go by car if you have it. But in the old days people had to travel several days to get from New York to Washington. People went there by coaches driven by horses or went on horseback. They stopped at inns to have a rest or to eat there and sleep.

There is a story about a new congressman who stopped at an inn one night and asked for a place to stay. The innkeeper wanted to know about the man and he asked, "Are you a Democrat or a Republican?"

"Why do you ask?" said the congressman.

"Well," said the innkeeper, "I always want to please my guests and I know that a Republican likes to have good food and rest, but a Democrat is more interested in the care and feeding of the horse."

"Well, it so happens" said the congressman, "that I am a Republican, but my horse is a Democrat."

Two friends went on a trip to London. In London they went into a restaurant for dinner. On a table stood a jar of mustard. Not having seen mustard before, one of them took a big spoonful into his mouth. Tears immediately filled his eyes. His friend asked him what he was crying about. "I am crying at the thought of the death of my unfortunate father, who was hanged twenty years ago", the man answered.

They continued eating, and soon the other traveller also took a big doze of mustard. As soon as he had done so, tears ran down his cheeks also. "What are you crying about?" asked his friend. "Oh, I am crying because you were not hanged many years ago with your poor father", was the answer.
