Пересказ:
Мистер Смит, известный писатель, пошел в билетную кассу и купил один билет на экспресс поезда на семь часов в Манчестер. Сотрудник билетной кассы сообщил ему, что поезд должен был прибыть в Манчестер в девять часов следующего утра. Вечером мистер Смит приехал на железнодорожную станцию на такси. Так как он пришел на станцию за десять минут до семи и боялся пропустить поезд, он поторопился к своему вагону. Когда он сел в поезд и нашел свой купе, он положил свой чемодан на багажную полку и сел читать журнал. Поезд ехал очень быстро. После того, как он проехал две или три остановки, пришел билетный контролер, чтобы собрать билеты. Мистер Смит не мог найти свой билет. Поскольку некоторые пассажиры сказали билетному контролеру, что мистер Смит - известный писатель, контролер сказал ему: "Все в порядке, сэр. Я знаю, у вас есть билет." "Но я должен его найти. Я должен знать, куда я иду," был ответ.
