Mark Twain was famous in his days as a public speaker. In his public speeches he always liked to tell funny stories. He also liked to listen to funny stories and play jokes on his friends.
One day one of his friends lost his wallet and asked Mark Twain to pay his train fare （車費(fèi)）for him.
“But I don’t have enough money to pay both your fare and mine, ”Mark Twain said. The friend didn’t know what to do.
“We can do this, ”said Mark Twain. “We can get on the train and when the conductor(列車員) comes to check the tickets，you can hide(藏) under my seat. ”
Later, however, when the conductor came to check the tickets, Mark Twain gave him two tickets－one for his friend and one for himself . Then he explained in a loud voice. “My friend here is a strange man. When he travels on a train, he doesn’t like to sit on the seat. He prefers （寧愿）to lie on the floor under the seat. ”O(jiān)f course everybody in the train looked at the poor friend and laughed at him loudly.

I can’t remember the date when I started collecting litter. But it was when I got tired of seeing litter near my home and realized that nobody else was going to pick it up.
I live close to a forest in Ohio, America. I can walk there within three minutes! I used to love going there to play with my dog. But one day there was so much litter there that I became very unhappy. I decided to clean up the forest.
I made my first trip to clean the forest one afternoon. I took a big black rubbish bag with me. Ten minutes later, my bag was full of cans, bottles, broken glass and newspapers.
Since that first trip three years ago, I’ve been to the forest four times a year to pick up litter. I’m often there for three hours. It makes me feel great to do something for the environment.
After each trip, I look at all the litter I’ve found. If any of it is recyclable(可回收的)，I’ll keep it. I can’t understand why people drop litter. But I will keep picking it up until they stop dropping it.
