Mark Twain was not only a famous writer but also a famous hu­morist. He travelled a lot making speeches in different towns. Dur­ing these speeches he always told several funny stories.

Once Mark Twain and two of his friends were sitting in a restau­rant. One friend had just returned from a trip to the mountains. He said that the air in those mountains was very clear. In many places the echo of a voice came back five times stronger than the original voice.

"That is nothing," said the second friend. "In Colorado in many places the echo of a voice spoken in the morning comes back in the afternoon."

Mark Twain laughed. Then he said, "Listen! The echoes which you have told about are very unusual. But in a small church in Han­nibal, a town where I was born, there is an echo more unusual even than those."

"What is so strange about the echo there?" asked one of the men.

"Well, I'll tell you," said Mark Twain. "The echo in that church is so unusual, that if one says in a loud voice, "Good morning! How are you?", the echo comes back after a moment very clearly, "Very well, thank you. And how are you?"
