Question

    My name is Jenny. George is one of my good friends. One day, we went on a trip to Washington by train. An old man sat next to us. One hour later, the old man went to the washing room. A young man came over and sat down. George looked at him and said, “Sir, you must be wrong. This is not your seat.” But the young man said nothing. Some minutes later, the old man came back and said, “Sir, this is my seat, not yours.” “No, it’s my seat, not yours.” The young man answered.

At that time George had a good idea. He stood up and said to the old man, “Please take my seat. The train is arriving at New York. I will get off the train soon.” The young man looked surprised. “What? The train is to New York? I think I take the wrong train.” Then he stood up and ran away at once. George smiled at the old man and said, “Please sit down, Sir. He will be back soon. He is on the right train, but just on the wrong seat.”
