A tourist travelling in Norway discovered that he had spent nearly all his money, and there was just

enough to buy his passage back to England. He thought the matter over and decided that it was only a two-

day journey and he could easily do without food.

So, he bought a ticket and went on board the ship. He closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell, and

when dinner-time came, he refused the invitation of a fellow-traveller to come with him to dinner, saying

that he did not feel well.

The next morning he did not come to breakfast, pretending that he had overslept. At lunch-time he again

managed to keep out of the way. At dinner-time, however, he was so hungry that he felt he could not stand it

any longer.

“I’m going to eat, “he said, “even if they throw me overboard afterwards.”

At dinner table he ate everything put in front of him. When he could hold no more he was strong enough to

face the waiter.

“Bring me the bill,” he said to the fellow.

“The bill, sir?” said the waiter.

“Yes,” answered the traveller.

“There isn’t any bill”, was the reply. “On this ship meals are included in the fare.
