It has been said that Lincoln was always ready to join in a laugh at himself. There is one particular story that he always told with great pleasure.
In his early days as a lawyer, Lincoln went from town to town to hear and judge legal cases. During one of these trips, he was sitting in a train when a strange man came up to him. The stranger looked at the tall awkward lawyer and said that he had something he believed belonging to Lincoln. Lincoln was a bit confused. He had never seen the man before. He didn't see how a total stranger could have something of his. Lincoln asked him how this could be. The stranger pulled out a pocket knife and began to explain. Many years before, he had been given the pocket knife. He had been told to keep it until be able to find a man uglier than himself. Lincoln's eyes always shined brightly when he reached this part of the story. The story always brought smiles to the faces who heard it. The story itself was funny. But even more interesting was the fact that a man as great as Lincoln could still laugh at himself.
